One of my peeves is white people talking about how hard it is to overcome their racism.

How hard do you think it is to live with the fallout of that racism? The institutions built in service to that racism?

People say it to the people experiencing racism and then expect THEM to cheer them on.

Doing that work is FOR YOU.

BC living off privilege, skating through life over the literal and metaphorical blood of others, is cutting off the supply of light to your soul.

Don't ask for cookies or pats on the head.

Is treating people like people seriously that hard?

Or is that the excuse?

I did use the word "overcome" in a spout recently, referring to the process of learning about racism, and I was mad at myself afterward. Nobody called me on it, but it was a poor word choice. It's not hard. It does require some attention. But the subject matter is "things that were easier for me."
