An Open Letter to America during these protests

As a leader, I have to admit when I am wrong and when I have made a mistake. I have made a colossal mistake in light of the events of the last couple of weeks and done so to my embarrassment. As someone who has always prided himself on rational thinking and finding solutions to problems, I realized in the heat of the moment I did not act in alignment with principles.

I posted an open letter titled Dear Racist White People, and I shot my shot way too low. In fact, so embarrassingly low that I regret even posting it. Perhaps regret is the wrong word. Let me explain.

First, here is that post:

You should truly be embarrassed that you have to be another white person that just doesn’t get it. You don’t have to be, but you are choosing to be. Why do we kneel? Because we know that’s the only way we get attention brought to subjects of vast import. Why do we protest? Because we tried to do it the cavalier way, and it got us nowhere. Why do we riot? Because our voices remain unheard. Why do we scream Black Lives Matter? Because we are being forced into modern indentured servitude, beaten, handcuffed, choked, shot, and murdered at an exponentially higher rate than anyone in the world in the county that our ancestors built through slavery.

If white people were systematically hunted and imprisoned, set up for failure, enslaved for generations, and murdered left and right, you wouldn’t be asking the question, “Don’t white lives matter?”. Open your eyes. You are either…
