10. This boomer white woman feels the same.

But we're different from white supremacists. We aren't driven by fear. We aren't driven by greed. We don't view other people as competitors.

You and I and the white people like us realize that when everybody is better off, we're better off too. We realize that a healthy and happy world is a safer world. We realize that people are fundamentally the same, that racial stereotypes are wrong, and that diverse communities are strong communities.

We're up against people who have allowed their emotions and vices to rule their behavior and thinking. Unfortunately a bunch of them are billionaires now and they've bought the politicians and the news media and the social networking platforms.
