Ok. Here is what you should do, since you asked; Ask yourself these questions daily(hourly, before and after any interaction with a living being - including pets):
1) “How am I being racist?” Today, this week, this month, this year.
The answer will always be “I am, but how?”1/n
2) Know that the answer to this question does not, automatically, make you thee worst. You are fighting programming. But you are still being racist. You are.

3) “Why did I do, think, feel this racist action, idea, emotional reaction?”
The answer is “I was conditioned …”2/n
“…that way, but I can change my behavior, thoughts, and beliefs that lead to feelings!” And KNOW that you can.

That’s it. That’s all you need to do because I know you will have to start asking yourself “where did that come from,” and “why did I think that,” and …3/n
“How did THAT thought get in my head,” and “why am I feeling so threatened?” And when you answer yourself, tell the truth. Know that you have been conditioned to lie about these things - to yourself and others. And if you know you are going to lie…4/n
Prepare to ask yourself again. And again. And again. Until you get closer to the truth. That you think you deserve more, better, faster because you think you’ve worked harder and so have “your people,” and thus whatever is happening outside of you to “those people…”5/n
HAS to be their fault somehow. Whether by divine decree, or laziness, or genetic failure, or, or, or. Because that is what racism is. And you’ve got to become VERY TRUTHFUL with yourselves. I don’t need ANYTHING from you now. YOU need to do some serious work. On. You. 6/6
