As a white man, what can I do to help stop black inequality? I am looking for things I can do personally in my free time more than political solutions (IE support this or that candidate)
Black inequality isn't the only problem in the world, but I recognize it is severe and certainly exists, and I wish I could do something to help stop it. I feel i've been given a privileged life that I don't necessarily deserve, and want to help others enjoy the same things I take for granted.
It seems to me most of the efforts of white people to stop inequality are failed attempts, usually just a form of black dikk riding, or a way to get social justice brownie points. Posting relentlessly about 'black lives matter' on twitter/facebook doesn't really seem to do a thing...
It seems that many black folk are irritated with white folk not 'caring about them', my question is what do you want me to do? I have resources, I have time, and I have a somewhat informed mind, but I need help from the black community in guiding me with my efforts.
None of this is to say black people need white people's help or any of that, this is just about me, one cac with too much time on his hands, looking at one relevant problem in the world and wondering what is the most rational way to focus my efforts.
I hope we can find some common agreement in this thread. For example, I am a huge supporter of Ron Paul, and probably campaigned for him more than anyone who wasn't getting paid to do it, I get that many people, particularly on this site, don't all agree with his whole platform, but it seems we are all in agreement that ending the drug war and/or minimum sentencing would help minorities.
