London's Mayor expresses solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters ahead of a planned demonstration
From CNN's Sandee LaMotte
You just can't help it, you see, because you've been swaddled in the cocoon of white privilege since you came sputtering out of your mother's womb, protesting the indignity of it all.be a racist? You have black colleagues you consider friends; you don't see skin color; you never owned slaves; you marched in the 60s; you even protest today against the uniformed"bad apples" that use the power of their authority to smother minority lives and minority rights.
Q: Is this a"Me Too" moment for racial equality or is the conversation going to fizzle and fade as it's done in the past?There are a few things that I think are different about this moment. First, it's being sustained. It's not one march, one protest. They are ongoing and spreading around the world. The number one and two books being sold in the world right now are both on racism, one written by me, a white person, and one written bya black person. You can google"What can white people do right now?" and you wouldn't be able to keep up with all of the excellent lists of resources and guidance.
