I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

just think it’s important people know how peaceful and organized the protest in LA today was. for HOURS. EVERYONE (that i encountered) was kind. mindful. considerate. handing out free food and water. making sure those around them were okay.

i don’t really know where i’m going with these tweets but it just felt important to let people know these protests aren’t just madness from the start and “thugs” trying to destroy everything. there were kids next to us.
