This government is incapable of taking a lead. What do we do?

I believe it starts with nationally recognized, good-hearted & decent white leaders/public figures (including those on the right)...speaking up instead of staying silent.

Such as people like Carson Wentz, Steve Kerr and others.

Wentz speaks out against institutionalized racism. (click here)

“Being from North Dakota, I’ve spent a large part of my life surrounded by people of similar color, so I’m never gonna act like I know what the black community goes through or even has gone through already. I’ll never know the feeling of having to worry about my kids going outside because of their skin color. However, I do know that we are all equal at the foot of the cross and Jesus taught us to value others’ lives like they were our own — regardless of skin tone.

The reason I have my doubts this will happen in any numbers (especially by those on the right), is because they realize a significant percentage of those who vote/support them are just fine with the current institutional/systemic deck stacked against those who aren't white...and their support would suffer if they spoke up.

It will take good people having the courage to step forward, in a non-violent way...to even start any changes.

I would also suggest looking nearby and you will find a desperate need for volunteers in predominately black churches/communities, that are grateful for any help...but especially by those of us who are white and live in TV.

Not only have I been openly accepted and appreciated, but this has been some of the most rewarding and satisfying actions of my life and I recommend everyone do at least something...even if it's just a clothes or monetary donation.

Sadly however, one only has to look at the usual suspects right here on TOTV...to see those who are fine with the status quo.
