Cr: Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

(This thread is gonna be mostly quotes ig)

I stopped talking to white people about race because I don’t think giving up is a sign of weakness. Sometimes it’s about self-preservation.

To be white is to be human; to be white is universal. I only know this because I am not.

The way almost the same thing happened to Breonna Taylor and who knows how many other black people and this still hasn't come to an end yet is sick

But looking at our history shows racism does not erupt from nothing, rather it is embedded in British society. It’s in the very core of how the state is set up. It’s not external. It’s in the system.

If all racism was as easy to spot, grasp and denounce as white extremism is, the task of the anti-racist would be simple. People feel that if a racist attack has not occurred, or the word ‘nigger’ has not been uttered, an action can’t be racist.
