Protesting Is Important

When Colin Kaepernick knelt, they said, "This is not the right way to protest." 

When Martin Luther King marched in Selma, they said, "This is not the right way to protest." 

When people marched in the streets of South Africa during apartheid, they said, "This is not the right way to protest." 

There is no right way to protest because that's what protest is. It can't be considered "right" by the systems that it's protesting.

What on earth can white people say about institutional racism? We can say we see what is happening, how black lives have so little value. We can say this is absolutely unacceptable. We can say people need to be held accountable. And we can say a systematic change is needed, and is needed NOW!
