Some guidelines on being a white ally:

🔹Listen to marginalized communities issues more than telling them their issues.
🔹Explain these issues to other white people outside marginalized communities.
🔹Boost and lift up voices from people within marginalized communities.
🔹If someone accuses you of bigotry, don't immediately defend yourself. Instead, pause and reflect.
🔹Focus primarily on addressing systemic oppression, not individual people's bigotry.
🔹Never reduce problems down to class struggle, or value class conflict above all else.
🔹There will be people within marginalized communities who do not acknowledge their own systemic oppression, and/or are privileged in other ways. Address their privilege, not their oppression.
🔹Lastly, no white savior complexes. Your job is to act as support, nothing more.
