Up thinking about white people for some reason

Thinking about the different kinds of whites I’ve met. I prefer the (leftist) ones who don’t take their whiteness so seriously. There are some that take it as some sinful heavy burden theyre carrying when they really could just get over it, and not center their whiteness

Because literally everything else already centers whiteness. Instead it could be used to shield and protect others. I want y’all to stop being sad that you’re white and do something about it instead.

This also ESPECIALLY applies to non-Black poc. We’re closer to whiteness and can access that privilege at the expense of Black people. Guilt is wasted energy, use the power u got (financial, racial, etc) to do something. Make space, learn when to shut up, shield, LISTEN

& don’t distract from the movement. None of that “Latino lives matter” shit shut the fuck up & read the room damn it

I feel like understanding how whiteness works often gets overlooked, (though we know it’s incredibly violent & we feel that) but it’s weirdly important. This is a great thread https://twitter.com/lilithsaintcrow/status/1347293759155838976
