White silence

I can’t be part of this white silence. We are having daily discussions with our kids about racism, privilege, attitude and silence. Topics I always kept them away from or limited discussions around thinking it shielded them from the heaviness of it all while in actuality it was perpetuating the ongoing white supremacy America. It’s a heavy topic and I do not like heavy conversations or conflict. But I cannot and will not brush it to the side and just let others deal with it. I now know better and am trying to do better. I’m unlearning.
