Please watch this powerful video. I am a white woman. This has never happened to me. It will probably never happen to me. Its so wrong. For white people that dont believe this happens, this is for them. We cannot live in white enclaves and expect to learn what our brothers and sisters of color face on a daily basis. To heal racism and its effects in this country will take institutional change, but it begins with the individual. A good start is reading Michelle Alexanders The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. You can be a force for change. It takes becoming educated about it and inspired to do it. Unfortunately, institutional racism is present in many power structures that affect lives, including law enforcement, the judicial system, education, health care, housing, nutrition, safety, employment, to name a few.
