This is appallingly white-centric! Seeing skin color is crucial to seeing the person within. This unfortunate installation implies that skin color is superficial, and that dismisses the experiences of people of color in our racist society. More erasures. This needs to come down!

Not only is this question utterly white-centric, it also quite literally answers its own question by BLOCKING OUT THE BLACK. By blocking out the black squares with white solutions (yeah, did ya get that one?) the whole question itself becomes white as white can be. How arrogant, entitled, and totally self referential.
Wow, actual whitewashing. Way to go

This is the WRONG question! When people of color are facing ongoing and intense injustices, violence, murder, discrimination, inequities of all sorts…it is disrespectful not to address that reality *first*! I want white people, especially, to acknowledge how skin color affects every aspect of people’s lives. Understand white privilege, the effects of colonialism now. Repeating niceties is counterproductive when it avoids the hard issues we must address.
