White privilege full circle

So this is pretty much a rant, but with everything happening, it's as good a time to spew it than any.

Growing up, I always had probably slightly more black friends than white. Nothing particular to why that happened, it just did.

As far back as I can remember (lived in Minneapolis until I was 12, ATL a couple years, then small town Bama), I always felt some sort of pitty for my black friends (justified or not). I just always had the feeling there were pressures on them to fit a certain mold, act a certain way, think a certain way, etc.

I thought, I am lucky in life, I don't have that pressure. I tried to talk to several friends about that, of course being young, they disregarded it.

So flip to the current time. There is an immense amount of pressure for all white people to be a certain way. If you don't think life the others, you will be shamed and doxxed and driven out of business or a job. Essentially the stakes are super high, even when you're just trying to spread truth with a good heart.

My question to everyone here, what are you willing to sacrifice? I feel we've all retreated to being anonymous because we might have to give up something. Are we all just talk? We refrain from speaking truths on social media because we fear the outcome, but why? Some people don't know the truth, some people don't know the statistics, some people don't know anything other than what MSM reports.

In short, the silent majority needs to start being the vocal majority with a picture plastered beside their thoughts.

ETA: if you're wondering where this came from, I watched this video tonight
