Whiteness is a threat to all of us…*even* white people.
I hoped Heather McGhee’s #TheSumofUs would finally help make that clear, but turns out our allegiance to whiteness surpasses all other needs.
🤦🏼♀️
Heather McGhee was 💯 right.
Racism will lead you to fill the swimming pool with concrete rather than share it with the people you hate.
Better to bake in the heat than see "those" people get some relief.
Let the reader understand.
#TheSumofUs
Why TF were any of these FUCKING people voted in?!?!?!?! WTF IS WRONG WITH US????? 🤬🤬. In his 1st term his ignition of racists got my son killed 💔 Now he just wants everyone who doesn’t kiss his fucking ring gone 🤬🤬🤬🤬 #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #TheSumOfUs
The killing of our black community by leos leads to the hatred that got my son killed 3 weeks after George Floyd 💔💔. We are all in this together. United we can stand. Divided we die #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #HateKills #TheSumOfUs
😔💔. And his murder by an enabled racist led to my son’s murder 💔😔. #HateKills #TheSumofUs #TrumpDestroysEverything #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #ChildLoss
Until the 1960s, opportunity in America was legally reserved for white men. On The Weekly Show, Heather McGhee reveals the DEI backlash isn’t about fairness—it’s fear. Fear that women, Black, and Brown folks might actually outperform. A must-watch. a must read! #TheSumOfUs #DEI #Equity 👇🏾

I think more people should have read The Sum of Us …… Racist white culture has always chosen to hurt themselves in the process of hurting who they think they hate …….. and they make EVERYONE suffer 🤬 #TheSumOfUs #RacismKills #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19
Drained pool politics. #TheSumOfUs
Like the racists in one town that closed the pool rather than allow Black kids to use it.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Most people can not explain what jobs are federal jobs or what they really do. They just expect things to run as they’ve known. Education would be good for them ……. #AntiIntellectualismIsKillingUs #TheSumOfUs
Strong #CutOffNose vibes as described in Heather McGhee’s #TheSumOfUs
“Fear of ‘others’ has been weaponized to keep working people divided.” #TheSumofUs
“Fear of ‘others’ has been weaponized to keep working people divided.”
—Corporate exploitation of bias. #ClassSolidarity #TheSumofUs
“Racism is a drain on the whole pool. Everyone’s wages go down when discrimination thrives.”
—Economic costs of division. #SharedProsperity #theSumofUs
“The dismantling of public goods like education and healthcare disproportionately harms Black Americans—but it also harms poor and middle-class white Americans. We’re in this together. #TheSumOfUs #InvestInAll”
In times like these this book reminds me the lengths that some take to ensure that a few of us suffer #thesumofus
“America loses trillions every year because of racial inequities. Closing the racial wealth gap would boost our entire economy. Justice isn’t just moral—it’s practical. #TheSumOfUs #EconomicJustice”
“The ‘zero-sum game’ says progress for one group means loss for another. But that’s a lie. When we invest in equity, everyone benefits—better schools, wages, and healthcare. #TheSumOfUs #EquityIsStrength”
Book covers. The Sum of Us, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, From Cradle to Stage, and Holocaust Biographies.
Originally not on 2025 list...but from previous yr (was finishing an MBA and didn't finish reading them). Adding now. Obvi one is for occasional break I may need. Yes, I am aware our guy, Dave, disappointed us recently. #booksky #thesumofus #holocaustbiographies #MLKAutobiography and #CradletoStage
“Hope lies in solidarity. The most powerful thing we can do is recognize our shared humanity and fight for a future where everyone has access to dignity and opportunity. #TheSumOfUs #TogetherWeRise”
“When public pools were integrated, many towns drained them rather than allow Black children to swim alongside white children. Racism robbed everyone of community resources. Let’s stop the cycle. #TheSumOfUs #SharedProsperity”
“Racism doesn’t just hurt the targets—it holds us all back. The zero-sum game is a myth. A rising tide lifts all boats. Let’s rebuild the public goods that strengthen communities. #TheSumOfUs #SolidarityDividend”
