White people: even if you think you& #39;re not part of the problem, spend more time thinking of ways you might be so that you can keep working harder. We live in a racist culture and that means we are inadvertently complicit all the time. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/566247/white-fragility-by-robin-diangelo/">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/566...

One thing that& #39;s helped me (HOPEFULLY) get better at allying is thinking about how angry I get when a man is like "oh I& #39;m definitely not sexist, I& #39;m a huge feminist" when like OK bro you& #39;re a dude in a sexist culture sooo! But...I& #39;m a white person in a racist culture, sooo!

When there is a discussion going on in the LGBTQ+ community and straight allies jump in to take away time/attention, I hate it no matter how well-intended, which means I can see how my own well-meaning actions re: race have been harmful and silencing no matter what I intended.

It& #39;s not marginalization Olympics, but white people: white supremacy is real and vast and, like it or not, we& #39;re part of it. Work hard to overcome it, and expect nothing for it. This should be baseline humanity, not cause for ally cookies.
