This: #antiracist vs "not racist".

If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color _gave me breathing space_. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.

And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.

Good morning. Here’s a quote for today. What’s the most important park of the quote? Mine is is in the reply. I’ll do a conversation topic post tomorrow. 😊
