To the white person who asked what can white people do?
1. Stop asking Black people that question
2. Listen to Black people. Think deeply and talk among ourselves. Challenge our own and each other's thinking.
3. Read Black authors. Join or start a racial/social justice book group. Think deeply and discuss. Challenge each other to think more critically. Last night it occurred to me that I think we're in a kind of golden age of Black thought and writing. We have access to past writers and current ones too. Pretty amazing to me the access we have to information.
4. Choose intentionally where you put your attention and dollars.
5. Support Black voices. ContrabandCamp has a founders paid upgrade or gift a subscription to someone else.
6. Take action. Find places that you can show up. It can be all kinds of things, even just a No Kings rally. I don't particularly like the those rallies and it's also a good physical reminder that there are people who think they want a world that works for everyone.
Back in the late 1980s thru the 1990s, I used to work down in Alpharetta, Georgia at AT&T's datacenter there. Many of my co-workers call Piggly-Wiggly the "KKK Supermarket"...
The administration goal is to cause as much chaos as possible while hitting the biggest lick they can on the federal government and our money.
Why can't the NAACP or someone look into how unequal the segregated K-12 is and sue them? This should be a constant thing

We must step up and help ourselves. Do you think it is realistic for us to start having nationwide Saturday schools for black children?
To me, their goal seems to be Nazism.
