My husband is trying to be all cute here, interrupting me while I’m reading, but I managed to score the upcoming @taffyakner so I’m like ha ha ha, cool, love you babe, now get the fuck away from me if you want to live another day. 😂

“I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT I OWNED THESE GLASSES!!!” — me, this morning, after digging through my underwear drawer.

The difficult truth—and I’m speaking personally here—is that white liberals passively participate and benefit from racism e v e r y single day. Acknowledging that simple fact is a difficult but necessary step.
.
These screen grabs are from the excellent and sobering opinion piece in today’s @nytimes by Dr. Jean Theoharis. While MLK saw white liberals as allies, he also saw how our blind spots *actively hindered* the fight for equality.
.
As white people, we can (and should!) feel deeply when hearing his inspiring I Have A Dream speech. But we need these words to resonate as well.
.
My understanding of my complacency in racism changed after reading White Fragility—the most challenging and uncomfortable book I’ve ever read.
.
The most dangerous, potent racism facing America today isn’t a torch-wielding white nationalist protecting a confederate monument. It’s the racism and bias we refuse to confront within ourselves.
.
Let’s honor Dr. King by quietly beginning this very difficult, very important work. ❤️

Agree. This is straight misogyny veiled as discourse. These men are attacking them in vile, sexualized, hateful way… https://t.co/uVo0HJci2Y
