Not Enough Time Reckoning with History

"So many [White] people last year took George Floyd as an episode, as a moment to get exercised about, and didn't spend enough time reckoning with the fact that this has a long history in the U.S."

– Hakeem Jefferson

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But I'm not going to lower the bar and hire people just because they're Black.

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But Derek Chauvin got convicted, so now things are good.

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But don't think I'm going to let my kids play with Black kids!

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But there's not really much I can do about it.

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But it makes me feel too uncomfortable to talk about all this racism stuff all the time.

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But that was over a year ago now, so why are people still carrying on about it?

"George Floyd's murder was horrible and I have deep sympathy for Black people."

But I can't talk right now, I'm late for drinks with Muffy and Chip.
