THREAD: I just spent 3 days with frontline workers at hospitals in a part of Appalachia where hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last month. But hospital staff say many in their hard-hit communities still don’t believe COVID is real. Misinformation is rampant.

In business, you only have two options: - Take action - Make excuses Action turns into progress and that is the stepping stone to success. Excuses rob you of that joy.

Conversations > cancelations People’s need to cancel each other only shows the fear and hurt inside of them.. I have so much compassion for so many .. I wish everyone health and happiness. Compassion for different life experiences is something I hope rises from the hurt 💙❤️

Maybe you resonate with this. Maybe this makes you uncomfortable. Whatever your reaction (especially if it is discomfort), sit with it. Consider how you can be part of solutions and not perpetuate racism.
In 5th grade, my son asked me “Mama, is there something wrong with me?” My heart broke, but I kept calm to say no and ask why. White woman teacher in his favorite class (math) wouldn’t stop calling his name. Always on him. He’d be doing same as others but she’d call him out. 1/11

Whenever we talk about reparations owed for the free labor of enslaved people, someone will inevitably argue how few white people owned slaves. But it's Labor Day, so let me show you how everyone in America profited from slavery. A thread:

now imagine if everybody for the cause decided to not show up for work in solidarity. we’d see change happen fast af because money is the only thing they really care about.

how you shoot an assault rifle into crowd of people, injuring 1, killing 2, and walk away casually from several police unharmed? then in the same city be unarmed, walk away from police to your car full of 3 kids, and get shot in the back 7 times? make it make tf sense.

So much wisdom from @BreneBrown on shame and accountability! YES, shame is not a tool for social justice, AND white people have got to learn to take accountability for our feelings of shame about racism so we take action instead of retreating into denial. brenebrown.com/podcast/brene…
