Found this on Facebook: I have privilege as a white person because I can do all of these things without thinking twice about it:

I can go jogging (#AhmaudArbery).

I can ask for help after being in a car crash (#JonathanFerrell and #RenishaMcBride).

White privilege is real. Take a minute to consider a Black person’s experience today.

Their lives mattered. Their deaths should too. Say their names.
