But I can’t deny that there has been a wearying and uneasy process of trying to change their skewered perspectives, from screaming at them in my teens to shut up every time they dropped a generalised stereotyping remark to what became a resigned “I can’t talk to you about this anymore. Let’s just eat.” - This letter created by the website www.lettersforblacklives.com @lettersforbl and is in MANY different languages addressing immigrant family scenarios, was really poignant to me even if it was written in 2016 - Most of the points still stand. And even if I change the countries from 美國🇺🇸 to 英國🇬🇧 it still applies and makes it very clear to a generation of people that might think Black Lives Matter is not their problem or fight - To use the written word to reach out when you can’t exasperatedly explain it in person because your unconditional love for one another bars you from uncomfortable truths... time to have this conversation again in a frank way - I believe an updated letter for 2020 is in the works Sadly my written Chinese isn’t up to scratch to contribute 😭 - LettersForBlackLives.com」6月2日 16時11分
