White people are trying to take over BLM and will ruin that too.

Change my mind.

White voices are needed to make other white people listen.

It absolutely does matter. That’s the type of messed up world we live in. That we need straights to speak up for LGBTQ, men to speak up for women, and whites to speak up for minorities for change to come and for people to PAUSE.

Now that I have your attention. I have a real question and it's a tough question. And I would appreciate the thoughts. Please be respectful and as honest as possible. Posted earlier without the catchy headline and got no engagement.

Not sure how other firms are handling this situation, but PwC is encouraging all white people reach out to their black colleagues. There's an implied sentiment that essentially if you don't reach out, you do not care about them. Based on the meetings and comments and discussions made I've had the following reactions:

1. it sets a precedent that black people are less than white people b/c they can not handle tough times on their own
2. it sets a precedent that black people NEED white people to be able to think through things / understand how to feel
3. it sets a precedent that black people are unable to work without the 'white man' trying to solve for them
4. Many are not reaching out for good, but rather to clear their 'white guilt'
5. This is to satisfy white peoples need to clear their mind, not taking into consideration what our black friends / colleagues want or need.

I agree with you. Most don’t understand the issues and are simply calling people who disagree with them racists. Like in this bowl...

Agreed. It’s time we start something new

Wait, I thought white people were getting called out for not supporting BLM, now getting called out for supporting?? What the hell OP?

See my real post above. Just needed a fake into that would grab attention.

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.
