Most white people don’t think they’re racist when they are.
Most white people don’t think they’re racist when they are.
You’re right!
It’s a mental illness, imho.
No, it’s a profound lack of self awareness, of introspection, of understanding the *systems* of white male supremacy that they swim through without ever noticing. It’s not an illness; lots of mentally ill people aren’t offended at the existence of people unlike them.
I was one of those white ppl that believed I wasn’t racist and not until I did the Me & White Supremacy workbook did I realize how much ugliness was in me. It’s something I think about and work on every day to rid myself of.
Please share the Workbook!

Thanks, Imma pass it on…
It’s excellent! Everyone needs it.
To this day I am grateful to the women who responded to me when I piped up with some variation on “not all men!” If you KNOW you’re doing your best to LISTEN to women, Black folks, Jews, LGBTQIA+ folks and everyone else and thus *be a real ally,* then you already know “it ain’t you.” ✊🏾
YES!
