      If standing up and demanding justice offends certain people, so be it.

      Okay, so your objective isn't to actually achieve policy reform. You are more interested in moral grandstanding. I hope you enjoy yourself.

      Look man, you seem like a decent person. All of you on this thread do. I hope you understand what you are in effect saying is that people of color are responsible for changing white people's racism. Do you really not see anything wrong with that?

      If white people realized that they can too be victim of police brutality, wouldn't there be more engagement for policy change? So, then why do progessive media such as the @guardian, Vox or the Washington Post never mention it? After all, do they not want positive change too?

      If hurt feelings are going to make you take your ball and go home, then what are you doing? It's not the responsibility of people of color to get white people to do the right thing for all of us. Again, that it's the responsibility of POC is essentially what you all are saying.

      It's completely up to you whether to be righteous or strategic. Weigh the benefits of righteous indignation against effective communication which produces change.

      I'm not quite so sanguine that effective communication will produce change. In honesty, and I don't mean this to be rude to anyone, but it's going to take confrontation and even mockery to cast a spotlight on all the ways people of color get treated in America.

      The Philadelphia Starbucks, the BBQ in Oakland, the two kids prom shopping, the woman yelling "gun" at an innocent Hispanic in Las Vegas, and several more just in the last couple weeks. This kind of shit goes on *all* the time. If you're not paying attention, and most white...

      people aren't, you're not going to see it. If you can't see it, you won't understand the need for us to collectively change. Final point, to reiterate: it's not up to people of color to change white racism. White people need to look closely in the mirror. Is that really so hard?

      It's pretty meaningless. Because they'll all see different things. So do people of colour, actually, so listening to them usually means listening to the ones you already agree with
