Dear White Mom is a plea from Keesha Beckford to her best friend, who is white, to help her change the way #society will see her son when he’s grown up and not so cute and non-threatening. I know you’re on my side, with all those posts about how I don’t have to worry about my blond haired blue eyed son being shot by the police. I get it, you’re not boasting, just stating the sad facts, that you understand on the deepest level that your #white #privilege means your #motherhood is different from mine. I love you for this but it’s not enough. Mrs. Beckford suggests that her white friends voice will be louder than hers because of skin color. Can a multi-cultural #alliance change the way masses of people think? Is an alliance the only answer? Why should Keesha have to form an alliance with a woman of another #race with the same #socioeconomic status to have her voice heard? #everyvoicecounts
