5k a day for 28 days for #BLM
Black Lives Matter. Then, now and always.
White supremacy won't die until white people see it as a white issue they need to solve rather than a black issue they need to empathize with.
I can't pretend that I will ever understand, but I'm raising money in aid of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust - sponsor me to run 5k a day for the next 28 days - you can follow my progress on Strava: Lewys Cave
"At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this issue.
But why would I do that?
It's not their problem - it's mine.
People of colour are being failed by the system. The white system. Like a broken pipe flooding the apartment of the people living downstairs. This faulty system is making their life a misery, but it's not their job to fix it. They can't - no one will let them in the apartment upstairs.
This is a white problem. And if white people don't fix it, someone will have to come upstairs and kick the door in."
