Thank’s so much for your energy , your “no doute” présence and your smile. My black girl friend is pregnent. The baby will be the answer of the racism attitude. When I was in India 40 years before, I thought that human being was born there, came from there. Indian people are black anyway. Like you say, there is only one race, human being. Thank you to be what you are, who you are. You are beautiful.
Thank you, this was so helpful!!

Thanks for this. I am keenly aware of racism and as a white man I have had to open myself up to listen to my black friends and learn about their perspective and history and become more aware of things like institutionalized racism, etc. I have learned so much thanks to having a lot of friends of color. I would like to gently remind white people that it is up to us to do these things and it is up to us to change and grow and learn about our own racial biases. Even if we don’t consider ourselves racist, many of us need to take a deep look at ourselves on this subject. I found that even though I wasn’t ever racist that I had some biases. And thankfully have been able to become aware of them and put myself in check. But it’s up to us white folks to fight racism and racial biases and change and grown and speak up when we see racism happening, What a great talk Jenée Johnson. I wish you had a website I could see more of your talks and stuff. Anyway. Just a friendly reminder to open up and learn and grow on this matter of racism. I am grateful to my many black friends teaching me their perspective on things and what they deal with regularly, and their history, Thanks again. I wish that someday the world can change and there will be no racism And that we can change our world to not have institutionalized racism. it permeates every aspect of American life to some degree or another. But waking up to all of this has been a beautiful part of my journey. And I am so grateful that I am so much more aware now. If more white people did this, even the ones who say they aren’t racists, the world would be a better place.
