One RT of a post about giving money or one tweet about your privilege is not going to cover it people. When you say ‘acknowledge privilege’ or your ‘learnt racism’, I want examples...
I want you to give examples of a time you have sat in a room of all White people and let people talk trash on a Black person. I want to know about that time you secretly talked about the Bkack writer getting all the commission when they announce one project...
I want examples of all the groups and rooms you have created where you have intentionally left Black people/friends out of because you want to be able to talk freely...
I want yiu tell me about endless ways in which you cross the road, watch your back, say you’re scared of someone for no other reason than the colour of their skin...tell me about that one time you started to not look at a BW in a group simply because she had a different opinion.
Or anytime when you’ve questioned a Black person’s right to be part of a conversation, a project, a damn reading group because you’re worried that they might ‘dumb it down’. This is the honest self reflection I want.
