Question 3: How do we change the minds of people whose ideas of racial prejudice have been taught to them since youth? How do we peacefully change racist mentality?

[CheckerboardUSA @CheckerboardUsa]

Q4: Children are our future and their parents have a big influence on them. What can parents do to teach their children about racism besides just talking about it? #WokeWednesday #mimsPR

[Alec Jones @alecjonespr]

@CheckerboardUsa Q4: the use of visual representation and/or as being the parent, pointing out an act of racism or prejudice in person to become active, better role models to their kids for them to gain much wider range of awareness towards the issue of racism #WokeWednesday #CheckerboardChat

[Alex James @AlexJames_PR]

@CheckerboardUsa We need to prove to them that there are real and relevant instances of racism. We need to make them feel the oppression of these systems #checkerboardchat

[Alec Jones @alecjonespr]

@CheckerboardUsa Q3: from personal accounts with few people I know, it all starts by you both speaking openly about the topic to understand more of the roots to why they are thinking these thoughts and educating them in terms that they can most comprehend and learn #WokeWednesday #mimsPR

[Alec Jones @alecjonespr]

@CheckerboardUsa Q2: this statistic is nearly matching the record high in how people of America view race relations, if that doesn't tell us enough, we must begin to acknowledge structural racism and other issues that can help us begin to constructively fix these issues #WokeWednesday

[yuan @yqiuPR]

@CheckerboardUsa Q1: I believe our generation is more aware, conscious, and willing to fight against racism than the previous generation. With that mindset, we can educate the next generation and shape their attitude on racism. #WokeWednesday

[Alec Jones @alecjonespr]

@CheckerboardUsa Q1: Seeing where our current generation stands with this social issue, we can shape children's worlds by engaging in more constructive and open discussions about the racism in this country at an early age to provide more insight in how to combat against it and stand with others

Why the importance for white people to comprehend and develop full understanding about white privilege is a major gateway to effectively learn and communicate openly about race relations in a most constructive and appropriate manner. #CheckerboardChat

You mean the guy who donated millions of his own dollars to charity, donated all proceeds from his jersey sales, and has even gotten an airline to donate a plane to help with hunger relief in Somalia? Yeah I can see why he’s citizen of the year. https://t.co/M64XsNYJte
