What seems like a growing number of white people have insisted on amplifying their voices in the nationwide protests against police violence and have repeatedly acknowledged the role that systemic racism plays in the entire process.
After all, how else can it be explained that a disproportionate amount of unarmed Black people continue to be killed by police for being suspected of the same crimes that white people are able to walk away from unharmed?
But after 400 years of Black people in America demanding equality, the fact that it was indeed still somewhat of a start and not anything remotely close to a finish speaks louder than any renunciation of white privilege ever could.
If the white folks who renounced their inherited privileges truly do have a desire to create the types of changes Black people have been demanding for centuries, they can start immediately by not voting for Trump.
In fact, it could be argued that more white people organizing politically against Trump would be much more meaningful than submitting to their white guilt by jumping on what’s turned into an anti-racism bandwagon to ride next to Black people whose lives actually depend on the change they’re working toward.
