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?1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

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
