When Black people talk about Black people’s problems, the problems never get solved. I want to push white people to think about their roles, to think about how these issues affect them also, to think about how when we come together we can confront common ills that exist in all communities, Black, brown, and white, that have been left behind. We could come together or we could blame each other. But we’re not going to come together without trust, and I don’t see trust being built until white people say, “Black lives need to matter as much as white ones.”
