“When (you) hear something shared as racist, offensive or oppressive,” Smith exhorted, “ask one question: how would I feel if that were me, my wife, my daughter, my husband, or someone else I deeply love? Once you imagine that as someone you deeply love, if that situation disturbs you, then it’s time to take action.”

“It’s not as complicated as one would think it could be if you open yourself to have that moment of listening and understanding,” Durham added. “Empathy goes a long way.”

I really like this quote. It's bizarre how so many issues boil down to a really simple concept: Caring about other people.

It wrecked me when a lot of people I grew up admiring posted comments on Facebook attacking George Floyd's character. Like... you're watching a human being die. There is no possible way that would be their opinion if you replace George Floyd with one of their personal loved ones.
