Black Lives matter

I've been learning, 
I thought I was at a good level of, not being a racist. I think I'm definitely up there with the, I' not actively racist people. 
I also thought, maybe I was quite good at not being unknowingly racist. 
But the events of recent days and weeks have reminded me of m=how much more I need to educate myself. 
It's not enough to have good intentions.
It's not enough to speak out against the obvious. 
It's not enough to recognise your privilege 
It's not enough to share posts
It's not enough to tell your child, this is wrong, we don't agree with this

I have to educate myself, I have to listen and allow myself to have been wrong and to learn more. I have to be willing to be better than I am. 

I'm going to try
