What is my why?

During times of racial crisis, I have heard my black friends, family and colleagues state that they are tired of having to teach white people how to be civil and humane to black people. And at the same time, my white friends and colleagues are looking for a black person to "teach" or "tell" them what to do, without realizing the toll that it takes on the black "teacher." 

Recognizing the truth and the conflict inherent in these two positions, I have committed myself to stand in the gap and let my black friends, family and colleagues rest while I teach and explain to my white friends and colleagues. 

What's the meaning of Beyond Color Blind?

I have often heard this statement from my white friends and colleagues, "I do not see color!" Although this statement is usually expressed in the spirit of goodwill, it misses a major reality, since 1619  America has seen color, principally Black and White. The eradication of systematic racism is an intentional and ongoing process that calls upon each American citizen to act and be apart of the change.
 

BE: Bold! Courageous! The Change!
