@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

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

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 A2: I think it’s because the media has really uncovered just had bad race relation is in America and shown it on tv and online especially after the last presidential election. #wokewednesday #mimspr

[Grace Venes-Escaffi @gracelourdesPR]

@CheckerboardUsa because they are. that's actually really encouraging because at least it demonstrates a majority awareness of the fact that we need to come together and fix issues. it shows acknowledgement of the issue which is the first step to fixing it #mimsPR #WokeWednesday #CheckerboardChat

[CheckerboardUSA @CheckerboardUsa]

Question 2: About 70% of people polled think that race relations in America are bad. Why do you think that is? #CheckerboardChat

[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
