      Instead, I emailed them quotes from ‘letter from a Birmingham jail” We should call out racism wherever we see it. Even when it feels uncomfortable. Rip out the problem from the roots.

        If ‘light racism’ is acceptable in polite society, it opens the window for violent white supremacy to enter the conversation.
