Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear White Friends,

I have known you for so long and I am so glad to be able to call you my friend. But today I need to ask you to do me a favor: Please start being honest with yourself, your family, and your friends, about the systemic racism that I and all other black people face every day.

Now before you eagerly agree because you are good-natured, kind, and value our friendship, here is what that looks like for me: You have to call people on their ignorance of what racial injustice looks like, and to help you with that, I will share what it looks like to me. Feel free to use as your examples.

When Colin Kaepernick took a knee in protest of police brutality against the African American community, many white people took exception: “He is disrespecting our flag and our country.”
