When people say “racism used to not be an issue”, the translation is…[Black People] used to not have a loud enough voice for us to hear about racism.
Now they are trying to RE-quiet that voice.
'More than two years after the summer 2020 racial reckoning, many organizations have realized the hard way that having productive conversations about race can be both challenging and uncomfortable.

1/ Dear white people, if you are *not* checking in on your black and brown friends in the wake of the election and prefer to keep your collective heads in the sand, your friends might be better friends to YOU than you are to THEM.
Being able to opt out of difficult conversations about race is a level of privilege that your friends simply don't have. Peace and quiet are two vastly different things. Silence is NOT golden.
Saying "go on son" whilst watching some kinda sports is peak white culture right there.
It is not the job of #black #brown, & #Indigenous, #disenfranchised people to educate white people upon the Injustices of #settler #colonial societies. We #whitepeople must decide that it is important for us to educate ourselves on the truth of how countries like #America were founded, and we must move beyond our pathetic Self pity and hurt egos, damaged emotions to become authentic allies. We must further , take our instructions from those groups with whom we ally ourselves. We are not there to make commands and decisions. We are there to follow and support. Further still, we must be very vigilant not to become the path by which a group is infiltrated. #COINTELPRO is not dead. It has been reimagined and transformed into a new beast.
Petitioners in rural Ohio tried to get support to raise the minimum wage which WILL HELP POOR WHITE PEOPLE, mind you, and got harassed out of several counties because they had Black people working with them.
Happy belated white people independence day, though.

Why I'm asking #WhitePeople to understand how #BIPOC have to deal with relentless requests for more #EmotionalLabor on almost a daily basis in almost every area of our lives.
We're really exhausted from this. We need more white folks who will take ongoing heavy burdens off our backs. Start having those difficult #conversations with your fellow white folks & understand genuine #AntiRacism work requires #courage to talk to & #educate the white folks in your circles.

In 1998 Toni Morrison sat for an interview with Australian journalist Jana Wendt who asked her whether she would ever change her writing to include more "white lives substantially". Listen to her perfect response...
Watching an old white guy document his experience of going to India for the first time. All the complaining that it’s not like home His main complaint is that everything is disgustingly dirty

“It is a handful of oatmeal mixed with low-fat yoghurt, with half an apple and a carrot. If such a meal is to extend life, what is the meaning of life?”
