Good white people

Good white people,

if you are good,

listen to black people.

If black lives matter,

listen to black people.

Good white people,

if you are good,

don’t be silent.

If black lives matter,

say “Black Lives Matter,”

and don’t be silent.

Because when a black life doesn’t matter,

no lives matter,

and you don’t matter.

When Breonna Taylor’s life,

or Eric Garner’s life,

doesn’t matter to the police,

no lives matter,

because black lives didn’t matter.

Good white people,

don’t be silent.

Black lives matter.

You are right,

good white people,

and the racist is wrong.
