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.
