Everyone please take a second to send this email template to our local reps in Pittsburgh. Minneapolis just recently took the first steps towards defunding the police in their city. We must carry the momentum. https://t.co/QfaBDPDvkg #Pittsburgh #BlackLivesMatter

I knew it was about the emancipation proclamation, but the fact that it recognizes the day that the last people heard instead of when it was said is beautiful and heartbreaking.. damn.

6. Black people are emotionally exhausted. Sometimes, the best way to help minorities is by giving them space to process.

[✨Tracy Simone @thetracysimone]

5. Don’t announce the changes you’re making to decrease racism. Just do it. And the positive impact will follow suit. For example, diverse your selection of students when recruiting. Don’t brag about your “Diversity and inclusion” policy. Minorities are people, not trophies.

[✨Tracy Simone @thetracysimone]

4. Read the room. When black issues are being discussed in diverse spaces, crying because you feel guilty inherently turns the conversation about you. Not black lives. It’s ok to express remorse but “white tears” can be interpreted as an insult.

[✨Tracy Simone @thetracysimone]

3. White guilt will make you do whatever is necessary so you don’t feel guilty and your conscience is clear. True change is stepping outside of your comfort zone, examining the false narratives you’ve bought into about black people, and making a choice to unlearn it.

[✨Tracy Simone @thetracysimone]

2. White guilt can easily lead to a misdirection of anti-racist efforts. "Woke" whites sometimes focus on receiving acceptance instead of creating change. Thus the burden of solving your feelings of guilt is pushed onto the minority.

[✨Tracy Simone @thetracysimone]

1. Being ashamed of injustice doesn’t mean you should be ashamed to be white. Maintain SAFE cultural practices that make your family unique. Simultaneously, teach your children about European imperialism, and its consequences, to African Americans and Indigenous people.

Can we officially make the KKK a fucking terrorist group? Why the fuck are they still allowed to have meetings and threaten the lives of black people causing cities to be shut down????
