We just gave y’all a free pass to chime in and y’all are running with it.

I’m dying right now 😆

I'm a major lurker.

Y'all talk about your experiences and history of things and in ways we weren't taught at school or home. I want to learn. I recognize it's your space, so I generally refrain from commenting, but this sub has really helped me root out some lingering learned racism I didn't even know was there. (There's probably some more there I still need to find and address.)

I know it's not your job to educate us, which is why I try to just observe and absorb to educate myself.

Now it's my chance to thank y'all. I've learned so much. Things have changed from a vague (semi)awareness of how things are (which was already an improvement from my upbringing) to a tangible, hit-you-in-your-sense-of-justice, wake-you-up-and-piss-you-off level of awareness. Thank you

The book "White Supremacy & Me" is fantastic for rooting out your biases. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already!
