White Friends,

The day we understand the good fortune we've had of simply being born in this country—is the day we'll extend hospitality and compassion to those who haven't.

Our gratitude will result in kindness, not contempt.

We don't own #America. Stop hoarding it.

=========================================

I refuse to be condescended to and lectured at by a white guy who excludes himself from the group of white people who need to express compassion, gratitude, and kindness.
