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.

The book that our friend T has been begging us all to read took me 4 or 5 hours to read, tops. It is 150 pages. It is not a "hard read." There will be concepts that are hard for you to all accept, but there are not passages you have to go back and reread.
I have to say, if you even vaguely pay attention to sebby v anyone fights here you have wasted far more time then the book will take you to read. And I must say that EVERY. ONE. OF. YOU. posts stuff that makes me know you could benefit.
