When you walk into a grocery store, a bank, a restaurant, down your street. Stop notice, are there any nonwhite people there? Have you ever seen a nonwhite person there? At work, are there any nonwhite people there? If you’re a woman, you probably notice if you are the only woman there, you would notice, and might ask why? When you are in a situation where there are no nonwhite persons, realize it did not happen by chance. It was designed that way. If you don’t know the answer to why? then start to read, listen, talk, learn. If you don’t know how to address it, then start to read, listen, talk, and learn. Then recognize that you can be part of the solution. Recognize that you will need allies and those allies need to be diverse. Then go visit a city school, and then go visit your school? Then realize that fixing that problem, will fix the other problems.
