“Me, white person, my comfort and my need for people to take care and sympathize with my ‘It’s not me, it’s not me’ is harmful if I’m sucking up that energy away from conversations of voices and communities of color.” –Brendan Kiely

All American Boys from @simonbooks is a book not only about police brutality but ally-ship. Co-author Brendan Kiely discussed his role as a man of privilege in recognizing the importance of the conversation and stepping back without taking attention from the core issues when we discuss race.
