GUEST,Rahere USA, Black Lives Lost in Police Actions (266* d) RE: Another Black Man Shot by Cop 08 Dec 14


I do: let's post them here.

1. Understand your privilege.
2. Listen and do your homework.
3. Speak up, not over   
4. You'll make mistakes, apologize when you do.
5. Ally is a verb -- saying you're an ally is not enough.

We must each speak for ourselves: here are my answers
1. I do - and I don't, as I disparage it. We're humans and should value each other for what's inside, not what's behind us. I think that might be where we can come together, the past is written, it's the future which matters and if you go forwards believing you can't, you won't. It's the step of faith Churches go on about, self-belief and working from the ground up.
2. Better yet, feel it and make it as much your hurt as you can, it'll never match the pain of those who suffer every day. In my case, it's family: my aunt by marriage was Yvonne Ruddock's aunt by blood.
3. I do, I do.
4. Indeed, humility is where it starts from.
5. I spent about a month this summer putting a project together to get rowing into London's sink estates, Downham, Thamesmead, Broadwater Farm and Edmonton, to act as a core to build character and get some recognition and self-respect into those areas. It fell through when the upper class backers wouldn't put up as they said they would, didn't have the hurt: they were starting from the top down and, lacking foundations, shifted. If anyone has the interest?
