White nationalists, supremacists, the racist legislators in the Republican Party, The Right\u2019s social media sites, Fox News, yes, all these will continue their strategies to secure white power. We who value equity and actual democracy will continue to organize for justice and voting rights, to end the filibuster and further gerrymandering. May we also follow Daryl Davis\u2019 work to befriend the klan; he changed minds and hearts as they learned who he was rather than their conditioned bigotry. In other words: what can we do to reach out to the \u2018other\u2019 in our country, to weaken this uncivil war of polarization. Many on the ground are seeking to do so. Check out the writing and pod casts of Rashad Robinson and Angel Kyoto Williams; they teach how each of us can train in non-violent communication. In empathy. Build a skill set. Focus on strategies for resolution among difference. There\u2019s plenty of work just within discussions with progressives who indirectly support white nationalism; they don\u2019t know the history of police bigotry in America from early on, they don\u2019t know the origins of critical race theory. So they don\u2019t look deeply into the origins of \u201cdefund the police\u201d; demean its intention, are unaware of Black leaders who prefer \u201cfund the community\u201d. They make fun of CRT as \u2018poor marketing\u2019 of the left\u2019s message. That energy is better spent of studying more to hold more constructive learning even among \u201cone\u2019s own kind\u2019. May opinion writers feature communication influencers.<\/p>\n
