  • latoya: there is no button that will stop racism. no one tool. we can use social media to reach out #

  • jay: be mindful when talking to people about race. not every convo can be racism 101. dont’ take it personal #
  • jay: best thing about social media is that every conversation creates a document, so you can find it later #

  • ques: roots of racism are different in diff. countries. how do you deal with cross-nation, cross-culture racism despite the lack of history? #
