Reposting from an August 2014 article: For the first couple of days, almost all of the status updates expressing anger and grief about yet another extrajudicial killing of an unarmed black boy, the news articles about the militarized police altercations with community members and the horrifying pictures of his dead body on the city concrete were posted by people of color. Outpourings of rage and demands for justice were voiced by black people, Latinos, Asian Americans, Arab American Muslims. But posts by white people were few at first and those that I saw were posted mostly by my white activist or academic friends who are committed to putting themselves on the frontlines of any conversation about racial or economic injustice in America. (image description: peoples of color are viewed in protest, with a hand full of Euro descended peoples aka white folx present. All have their hands raised signifying hands up/ dont shoot.) qz/250701/12-things-white-people-can-do-now-because-ferguson/
