My friends all say it better than I.... thx MissBikini Half a world away and at 3 am I heard about the no indictment from a couple of Australians waiting for the verdict on the radio...what struck me is that even people on this side of the world care about whats happening in #Ferguson. You cant be neutral on a moving train. I wish I was at home in DC to take to the streets with you. For now, all I can do is choose to engage in the conversation. Often times I am reluctant to, not for fear of losing favor with my white friends, but because it is emotionally exhausting to try to respond to ignorance. But I am reminded that the comfortable choice of whether or not to engage is a function of my white privilege. I am reminded that I too was blinded to many social justice issues as a white middle class kid before I started paying attention. I am reminded of the people who were willing to educate me. I am reminded that speaking out in solidarity is literally the least I can do. #blacklivesmatter
