A great read, even if some of it hurts.

And no, Black People don‘t know how to fix racism. I can‘t say I know how either but it‘s White people‘s responsibility, White people‘s work.

My only recommendation is do not isolate yourself from Black art, Black literature, Black news, Black music, Black culture.

Appreciate but don‘t appropriate.

White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism | Robin DiAngelo

pick

This has been hanging out on my tbr shelves for a long time, and I finally dove in. Written by a white woman who works as an antiracism educator and trainer, the book focuses on the myths and false ideologies that keep white people from being able to acknowledge their own internal racism and be able to confront and discuss racism. A lot of gut checks while reading this one as she pushes the reader into a productive and necessary discomfort!
