I’m sharing this powerful message in the form of a poem by Mary Melange. May we continue to listen, learn, and grow in love.
I am white.
I don’t know what it’s like
To fear
Discrimination, bigotry, name-calling, death under a knee
I am white
Brought up in a white community
With white friends
I don’t know what it’s like
To feel how you feel
To live your existence
To have a history of constant oppression and special rules
Fighting, protesting for survival
I am white
I have been privileged
In ways I still don’t understand
My fear is different and now feels like nothing
I have nothing to fear
But you do, my friend, and for that my heart grieves
You are hurting and trying to speak
The words of your life
I am listening, humanity is listening
We hear the voices for equality, solidarity, justice
We acknowledge your pain
Pray for change, for acceptance among all brothers and sisters
I am white
and always on your side in love
I have loved…

Thanks for sharing Mary’s poem. Another sister awakened to the truth of ‘The Matrix.’

I felt this so deeply. It’s like I understood her sentiments on a another level. True brotherhood.
