Becoming
Step Up
Wanda Sykes, the black entertainer in this video 6/3/2020 calls on white people to “step up” and DO something about systematic racism. “I’m tired of getting texts from my white friends saying ‘thinking of you, I hear you, I love you,’ …I’m not discounting them at all but …it’s kinda empty, You don’t get to just drop that off and then go on about your life and feel good about yourself.”… “The only way racism will stop is when white people tell white people to stop being racist,” Sykes said. “I need y’all out on the front lines.”
Sykes said to white people “you gotta fix your problem, you’re the abuser.”
