Anger towards white folks that may be coming from Black and Brown folks may well be because they are dealing, every day, with a system built to harm them, and every day white people who have no clue they are contributing (or do know and actively participate). As a white person sometimes our fragility makes it hard to hear critique, or we take things very personally. That’s part of why our page exists, to help white folks understand ourselves better by openly talking about race and racism. I welcome you to come over and have a conversation with one of our volunteers. Remember, liberation benefits everyone.*
