Showing Up For Racial Justice has created a text service for junior SJW white people who need help talking with their ignorant Trump-supporting relatives this Thanksgiving.

THANKSGIVING
This Thanksgiving, SURJ is offering two ways to help support white folks in having tough conversations with other white folks — conversations that are necessary if we want to break silence about race in this country:

Thanksgiving Discussion Guide: These conversations are tricky, and often get “in the weeds” fast. We’ve put together a discussion guide that gives some more substantial talking points for those tough conversations, as well as some questions you can ask to elicit feedback and avoid conversational shut-downs. Click here for the discussion guide!

SURJ Holiday Hotline: When you get stuck during Thanksgiving conversations, SURJ has you covered. Simply text SOS (with no quotation marks!) to 82623, and we’ll send you some key talking points that tend to come up in these tough conversations. If you get *really* stuck, we’ll even hop on the phone with you for a short 1:1 coaching call. It’s vital for white people to break white silence about the danger of Trump’s presidency — we we’ll make sure you have the tools you need to have those conversations over the holidays!

Taking the bullet for you, we texted them and had the following confab:

Now of course, unlike them, we believe that you have a brain and would know how to respond to that.

There are of course, many options:
1. Trump disavowed the KKK
2. Hillary received money from KKK leader
3. Hillary has not denounced riots in the streets trying to overthrow the election. Not only hasn’t she denounced them, but both she and Obama have encouraged people to ‘keep on fighting’. How do YOU feel about that?
