No bullshit: you’re the author (okay sorta bullshit) and Sebby is the various people she talks about.
The basic point being listen, no the reaction you’re having isn’t listening, it’s not about you, yeah, that’s a huge part of the problem, no, it’s not your fault but you’re not helping right now.
Okay, more seriously, it’s about all of us, which is the point. We’re all swimming in white supremacy. Those of us who are deemed white all benefit from it. We all participate in it and actually can’t help but do so. What we can do is affirmatively try fight against racism, which starts first and foremost with not denying it and reacting defensively to naming it.
