Thank you, for not being racist.
Thank you, for having a black friend.
Thank you, for adding this book to your library.
Our privileged ally in shining white armor.
However, your valiant deeds mean nothing if we are still dying. If when your friends make a joke, you don't correct them. If you aren't marching in the streets alongside us.
We aren't ungrateful. That's not the case. But, a sharpened pencil is not much use until you put it to paper. Only then can it write a life-changing novel.
Otherwise it's just a pencil.
So, we ask you, put your shining white armor to some use by speaking to your noblemen and kings and queens. Through them, you can exact change. Through them, you can write something that will change our lives.
-A concerned black boy
