I'd like to thank the Dallas shooters...(not really)

41. I'm not capable of changing the mind of even one bigoted person

Known someone my whole life with a significant racist streak.
How do you wake people up?

I feel helpless and sorrowful about it, but what can we do?

Write to congressmen and local politicians? It feels so ineffective against the magnitude of the problem.

I find myself wanting to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt to my office. We all don't talk about it enough. White people do need to talk with each other. But there's a divide, those who stupidly think "if you don't break rules, you'll be fine" and those who realize the pervasive white privilege (for shorthand).

We need an organization that lobbies for change and raises awareness and puts ads on TV that aims to change minds.
If we played these shooting videos on commercials over and over, would that be exploiting their tragic deaths?

I mourn. I am sad. I talk to people. I feel completely ineffective.
