I don't even know what to say to you

I don't even know what to say to Black people.  I can say I'm sorry and I'm so ashamed of what happened.  But those words are so inadequate and seem quite meaningless when these murders keep happening.

I do know what to say to my fellow White people.  We own this.  We created this and we must stop this.  I can already hear the chorus of voices rising up and saying "not all White people" to which I say "not enough White people."  Not enough White people are outraged enough to speak out.  Not enough White people are saying these murders must end.

George Floyd, Breonna Tayler, Ahmed Aubrey and too many others have been killed.  We White people must do something.  No, we cannot always change the hearts and minds of those whose hatred is based on the color of a person's skin.  Racism has been a part of our country since the first colonists arrived.  But what we can do is say loudly and clearly that we do not and will not tolerate racist behavior.  We can demand that people are held accountable for what they do.  We can demand that our local, state and federal attorneys prosecute these crimes.  We can be allies.  We can say enough and finally mean enough and not rest until something is done.  But my fellow White people, that will never happen and change will not come until enough of us make it happen.  So don't say '"not all White people." Let's join together so there will be enough White people.
