DAY 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Gifts...

Each day for the next 2 blog weeks I will be listing 12 gifts we can give ourselves and others directly from the Huff Post Black Voices article "12 Things White People Can Actually Do After the Ferguson Decision" by Joseph Osmundson and David J. Leonard. 

4. Do Not Police Others' Reactions. 

"It is not really our place to call for peaceful responses, or to call out looting as irresponsible or counterproductive. Loss of life is tragic, anger is justified, not all protests by black bodies are riots. The same state forces that violently end black life every 28 hours are condemning theft as irresponsible. The same system that denies justice, that kills with impunity, that denies the innocence of black men and women, young and old, isn't the basis of justice. Stay woke."
