So much "can't erase history" stuff, and l am gonna take it on face value
that y'all don't really understand ( a VERY charitable read rn).
Lemmie break this down for ya:
Say you came over and put a statue up in my front yard-- one that was
in the image of the men who have verbally and physically assaulted me
over the years. How do you think it would make me feel?
Now, lets make it spicy: that statue, lets say it was built to highlighting
the virtuousness of the men who harassed, hospitalized, and hurt me?
Do you think I'd wanna come home? Do you think I'd wanna be
anywhere near it?
Would you like to see the face of your tormenters every day comin' and
goin? "History is history" really feels like "suffer, bitch."

in imageBalance Gym and CrossFit Balance are deeplydisappointed
by the recent comments made by Greg Glassman, the founder
of CrossFit. We are also extremely frustrated by the lack of
leadership from CrossFit HQ and their tone-deaf and
inadequate responses in addressing the recent crises in the
USA.
It has become evident that our values don't match those of
CrossFit HQ and we are actively taking steps to move forward
without their involvement. This is a work in progress, and we
appreciate your patience as we look at our options over the
coming days.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to our directors with any
comments, concerns, or input on how you want our community
to proceed. Black Lives Matter.

in imageWHITE FRAGILITY: WHY IT'S SO HARD FOR WHITE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT RACISM
feel some unease around certain groups of people,
if only a heightened sense of self-consciousness.
But this feeling doesn't come naturally. Our un-
ease comes from living separate from a group of
people while simultaneously absorbing incomplete
or erroneous information about them. When the
prejudice causes me to act differently—I am less
relaxed around you or I avoid interacting with you
—I am now discriminating. Prejudice always mani-
fests itself in action because the way I see the world
drives my actions in the world. Everyone has preju-
dice, and everyone discriminates. Given this reality,
inserting the qualifier "reverse" is nonsensical
When a racial group's collective prejudice is
backed by the power of legal authority and insti-
tutional control, it is transformed into racism,
far-reaching system that functions independently
from the intentions or self-images of individual ac-
tors. J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, professor of American
studies and anthropology at Wesleyan University,
explains, "Racism is a structure, not an event."13

I implore all of my RIC friends to read this, hell all of my friends!!! If */*
matter to you, then #blacklivesmatter. There is no separating the two!
I'm black, I have always been black, and will continue to be black until |
take my last breath. Being black is not all that I am, but it's a large part
of who l am. When you don't see that, respect that, or appreciate that,
then you don't see me at my fullest and most wonderful. If seeing me
and my blackness offends you, there lies *your* problem, not mine. I'm
no longer going to keep quiet or hold back, to appease those who may
feel uncomfortable talking about and thinking about race. l've come a
long way from the girl who "hated" her blackness, not because | actually
hated my blackness, but because the world around me hated my
blackness, which I then internalized. I hope that you do want to see me,
and I hope that you do work to educate yourself, and I hope you do try
to understand, and I hope you do develop empathy. But if not, that'll
have to be okay. l'll keep it pushin, because *l see myself*: black,
beautiful, strong, intelligent, passionate, and devoted to educating
these babies about how to embrace, love, except and *see* their fellow
human
Gail Hall
I see you.
I think to myself, what a lovely, kind, young lady has
grown into a lovely young women.

@ewarren
Donald Trump is calling for violence against Black
Americans. His advocacy of illegal, state-sponsored
killing is horrific. Politicians who refuse to condemn it
share responsibility for the consequences.
Trump threatens American lives and American
democracy. We need to vote him and his enablers out-
but we must also commit ourselves to the work of
dismantling structural racism and white supremacy in our
country.
We have to make real change in our country and
fundamentally reform how the law is enforced in America.
We need accountability for law enforcement and
accountability at every stage of our criminal justice
system.
The idea that communities of color alone are responsible
for fighting racism is misguided and can have dangerous
consequences. It's not enough to stand as an ally. We
must be anti-racist. White Americans must ask ourselves
what we are doing every day to dismantle systemic
racism.
This tragedy tears us apart. My prayer is that this atrocity
can lead to greater understanding and ultimately the
grace we all need to ensure justice for all.

The beauty of anti-racism is that you
don't have to pretend to be free of
racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-
racism is the commitment to fight
racism wherever you find it, including
in yourself. And it's the only way
forward
