A lot of people say that talking about racism is divisive, to which I say, no racism is divisive.

I had once heard someone put it this way that when you say to someone that talking about racism is causing division,

it's like telling a person who says it's raining that they caused the rain.

They didn't cause the rain. They're just describing the situation.

When we talk about race and racism, we didn't create the division. We're talking about

the division. We're describing it, and only by talking about it openly can

we actually possibly create the environment for unity.

So let's not lose focus on the real issue here. Racism is what

divides. White supremacy is what divides. And talking about it, naming that

problem is actually creating the opportunity for us to come together on the

basis of truth. Avoiding those topics doesn't make them any less true. Only by openly talking about

it, talking about it truthfully and honestly,

then we can perhaps create the opportunity to actually get past that division.
