- Emmanuel Acho (@thEMANacho): He has tweeted out a 3-5 minute tweet that's entitled: "Dear White People, for days you have asked me how you can help...I've finally found an answer". During this tweet (and others to follow), he answers and encourages questions from White people and others about black culture. I have included the link to his first tweet below. As he mentions, there will be other tweets that provide a candid up-front answer to questions from everyone. Let your guard down and listen.
