white people need to be brave and confront their fear of being called racist so that they can confront the actual racism that's in there. the way they get defensive and immediately shuts down will keep us all where we are.
white people act like their skin will disintegrate and their bones will fall apart if they admit they may have some bias/don't know better abt some things. when the world is created for you & your comfort, how could you not be impacted by that?
there is 0 harm and shame in not knowing things. 'im a white person born into and brought up in a racist society created for my comfort and i have unknowingly adopted some harmful views. i see this now & i want to be better.' where is the embarrassment in that?
