Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are using their 'privilege and platform to be an ally.'
, to share a powerful message about systemic racism, and to reveal that they recently contributed $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
The pair -- who shared the same post -- addressed the privilege they have had as parents, explaining,"We've never had to worry about preparing our kids for different rules of law or what might happen if we're pulled over in the car." "We don’t know what it’s like to experience that life day in and day out. We can’t imagine feeling that kind of fear and anger," the post continued."We’re ashamed that in the past we’ve allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how deeply rooted systemic racism is."
Lively continued by saying that she and Reynolds"want to educate ourselves about other people's experiences and talk to our kids about everything, all of it… especially our own complicity." "We are committed to raising our kids so they never grow up feeding this insane pattern and so they'll do their best to never inflict pain on another being consciously or unconsciously," she continued."It's the least we can do to honor not just George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Eric Garner, but all the black men and women who have been killed when a camera wasn’t rolling.
