'Stopping asking 'if' you're part of the problem and start asking 'how.''
shocking is how many white folks, including friends and supposed healers, are still unknowingly caught up in trying to distance themselves from the problem instead of being part of the solution.. I can't say everything I need to say, nor will I say it as profoundly as I'd like. Still, if we're to have a hope in hell of turning this ship around, something needs to be said.
I can imagine the urge to resist or rationalize. To create a divide between yourself and"them," and help cope with the shame, guilt and deep embarrassment caused by those fools waving flaming tiki torches .what that's like, but I can imagine. Just like you don't know what it's like to be constantly reminded — through images, speech, law and policy — that your body is disposable because of its hue and your voice dismissible because of its tone.
Head 'bout ready to explode? Cuz mine sure AF is. But this is my experience as a racialized person, and I will continue to be asked, and expected, to do exactly this. Why? You guessed it... white fuckin' privilege.
