1. Most Black folk in the US experience frequent racism, and have to navigate racist systems daily. It's an important part of our lives.

2. Many white folk are very uncomfortable even hearing about racism.

3. People often talk about the most important things in their lives, with their friends.

4. Most white folk in the US (~75%), have no Black friends. Zero. None.

@mekkaokereke I have a half black grand daughter (7) who lived with me for most of her life- my best friend at work is black so I’m outside your stats - but I worry about her every day, I worry about the men or women she may have as partners/husbands/wives in her life, and my future grandchildren - I don’t want her or her loved ones to be pulled over in a car by white police and shot and murdered - I don’t ever want anyone to discriminate against her - we have to fix this world
