Correction & condemnation will not be the identical. On this work of anti-racism, you’ll all mess up. And while you mess up, you can be corrected. Correction just isn’t solely part of this work, it’s this work. However you don’t know the right way to take correction. White people, one of many causes y’all are fumbling everywhere in exhibiting up for Black lives in a method that’s much less about you and really about us is that you simply’re simply winging it. You’re making it up as you go, as if there aren’t any instruments or assets obtainable so that you can do that work. It’s a slap within the face to see so most of the very individuals I’ve personally tried to convey into this work, do the very issues they might know to not do had they really invested within the work & dedicated to it. However you’re messing up a lot since you’re working from the lens & conditioning of white supremacy that has influenced the best way you do all the things on the earth. Together with your internalized resistance to following and taking management from Black ladies. Collectively, the place have you ever seen it persistently & routinely correctly modeled & bolstered via programs of energy of the right way to observe, pay attention and pay Black womxn in method that’s affirming of our Blackness… our humanity? You haven’t. Not in your socialization, your lecture rooms, neighborhoods, jobs, authorities…not anyplace. However you’ve seen the alternative…silencing, ignoring and exploiting Black womxn and also you’ve seen it bolstered via programs of energy. And even proper now, you’re reinforcing the patterns of oppression particularly w/ Black womxn. Though you’re not attempting to…but the intent doesn’t negate the impression. You’re used to doing the very factor you’re doing now:: silencing, ignoring, talking for or over, and exploiting us. It’s regular so that you can overlook what we’ve to say as if it doesn’t matter as a result of for much too lengthy it hasn’t mattered to you. Maintain swiping to learn all of it earlier than commenting. Additionally don’t ask me for extra time and labor to make clear or clarify any of this to you. As an alternative join a category or program & get to work. And tag somebody you need to convey together with you on this work…particularly the white influencers out right here messing up too.
That is removed from a complete record. Please go away a remark with different anti-racism accounts from ladies of colour, and we’ll add them to the record.
