White Woman Who Asked Black Repairman About Racism Now Says ‘The Truth Needs to Be Heard’

She continued re-telling us how Ernest’s experiences had changed her:

“Ernest doesn’t have hope that racism will change, no matter who the president is. His dad taught him “It’s a white man’s world”, and he’s done his best to live within it. When I asked him what I could do, he said, ‘everyone needs to pray and realize we’re all just one country and one people’.”

And she finished the emotional post off with some advice:

“I am a 45-year-old white woman living in the south. I can begin healing our country by talking frankly with African Americans in my world – by LISTENING to their lived experience and speaking up. I can help by actively promoting black-owned businesses. That’s what I can do today. Let’s start by listening and lifting up. It’s that simple.”
