Remember that you’re calling out those close to you so a Black person doesn’t have to -Going to bat for anti-racism causes and beliefs is exhausting; Black people have known this for generations. It’s so disheartening getting through to white people, some Black people have said they’ve essentially “given up” on talking to their co-workers, neighbors and friends who are white. As writer Reni Eddo-Lodge said in a 2017 Guardian piece: “The journey towards understanding structural racism still requires people of color to prioritize white feelings. Even if they can hear you, they’re not really listening. It’s like something happens to the words as they leave our mouths and reach their ears. The words hit a barrier of denial and they don’t get any further.” Black and brown communities depend on us to stay in the conversation about race: They need you to remind your relative that Candace Owens doesn’t speak for all Black people. To counter the tired “bootstrap narrative” pushed by conservative radio and TV, to talk about President Donald Trump’s dangerous track record with people of color. They need you to talk about what it means to be Black in America and, more important, what it means to be white. People of color have historically depended white-on-white conversations happening in the home and still are today, McCorvey said. “Black Americans need you to have those conversations so we don’t have to,” she said. “The conversations with family might be annoying to you, but they’re traumatizing, harmful and invalidating for me.” -Yes, You Should Speak Up If Your Family Or Friends Post Something Racist https://www.huffpost.com/entry/speak-out-family-racist-posts_l_5f0f3ee4c5b65426947a26e6 #Blm #BlackLivesMatter #antiRacist #thecallout #HowToTalktofamilyaboutracism https://www.instagram.com/p/CC7epauglQ2/?igshid=8bsyeh22qsz3

"One thing I've come to realize is when you make a little progress, hearing the truth can sound just like all lies.. ..I see so many people around me trying to wake up with clouded eyes.. ..your consciousness is artificial.. ..the blind right on leading the blind... I guess that's why He said Faith comes by hearing.. ..and I've got you, just off of the lyrics.. ..and you can replay this 7x70 times.. ..still got to tune in your mind..." - Artificial, @gthemastermind x @aetheroflove #tBt #Singer #Songwriter #AetherOfLove #AetherFengHuang #AetherTheMermaid #Conscious #Folk #DMVModels #DMVSinger #DMV #TheHomeTeam #ATLSingers #ATLModels #ATL #Models #Singers #UnSignedArtist #Orange #Golden #Skin #ThursdayMotivation #Thursday #TheCallOut #CallOut #ThereWillAlwaysBeOnlyONESovereignKing #CarolDouglas #CarolDouglasPhotography (at Maryland)
