4 Steps That I and Other White People Can Take to Fight Racism
Understand What White Privilege Really Means
I recognize the word “privilege” can make some people feel uncomfortable. However, as White people living in the United States, we all benefit from a certain level of privilege. Examples of this privilege include:
We are privileged in that we don’t have to fear for our lives when we interact with the police.
Here’s the data on the likelihood of being murdered by the police, broken down by race, based on a study by Edwards, Lee, and Esposito.
We are privileged in that we don’t have to fear for our children’s lives when they walk or run down the street.
My friend recently shared this heartbreaking article exploring a mother’s fear of her child being perceived as a threat because of his skin color.
We are privileged in that our cultural names are less likely to influence whether we’re given the opportunity to interview for certain jobs.
According to this study by Quillian, Pager, Hexel, and Midtbøen, “Since 1989, Whites receive on average 36% more callbacks than African Americans, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos.”
We are privileged because assumptions and opinions about us are not based on the color of our skin.
The results of this research study by Harrison and Thomas suggest that skin color is regarded more highly than one’s educational background and prior work experience.

To the White People Who Keep Asking How to ‘Help
[ . . . ]
If white people want to help, they can do what I do, and go fight the racists. Fight them in public, where everybody can see you. Fight them in private, where nobody can see you. Fight them at parties where I ain’t invited. Fight them every day, at all times, everywhere.
White people know who the racists are. They’re in their freaking families. They’re in their companies. They’re in their networks and clubs and social media feeds. I don’t need to hear that you really understand how police brutality is a systemic threat to my health and well-being—your racist uncle does. Your boss does. Your “let’s not put politics above friendship” sorority sister does. Go make some racists know that their opinions are frowned on in this society. Go make them know that you hate them as much as I do. That makes less work for me.

Repost from my comment yesterday Blame it on the cops forum this form of thought should be heard it should be studied . Especially by the person who says they are not racist .
What is racism how is it defined?
This is not blaming white people for the problems we face today it is opening the shades that have been closed on American conscience
It reveals how we as Americans operate
White Fragility -DAngelo on Racism
“The problem with white people,” she says, “is that they just don’t listen. In my experience, day in and day out, most white people are absolutely not receptive to finding out their
impact on other people. There is a refusal to know or see, or to listen or hear, or to validate
, DiAngelo’s words provoke. They cause discomfort and defensiveness. She picks at the disbelief and sensitivity white people exhibit when they are told they are complicit in society’s institutional racism. She challenges rather than gives solutions. Her book is a harsh wake-up call for white liberals, who she thinks could be much more progressive if they first listened.
She defines this as white fragility – the inability of white people to tolerate racial stress. This, she says, leads to white people “weaponising [their] hurt feelings” and being indignant and defensive when confronted with racial inequality and injustice. This creates a climate where the suggestion or accusation of racism causes more outrage among white people than the racism itself. “And if nobody is racist,” she asks, “why is racism still America’s biggest problem? What are white people afraid they will lose by listening? What is so threatening about humility on this topic?”

EXACTLY. Particularly this part.

Black Lives Matter: If You’re White, Pass The Mic
The death of George Floyd at the hands of white police officers has shocked many white people. They have taken to social media to vent their horror and indignation. But this specific incident is a not a white person’s coming out party, it is part of a black person’s daily lived experience. As a white man, after listening to Black friends and colleagues more over the last few weeks, I have been educated in a deeper way about the lived experience of black people as victims of racism.

White people: this is what you need to do
But racism impacts black people all of the time. We can’t escape it. If you want to help us on the journey to a more equal future, we’ll get there a lot faster if you accept these facts and make an effort to become a better ally. Here are a few pointers to get you started.
OH I must of been dreaming about

But racism impacts black people all of the time

No; you're not sorry. You're acting bitter and resentful trying to shit on an important movement here in America by making it personal due to your biases toward me that are evident in at least three threads on this board, which is why at least a dozen of your posts have been removed.
#droneon
You will not silence me with your behaviour.
