How should I best use my white privilege to bring attention to Black Lives Matter and convince people of the merits of said movement?
MN– Talk to your friends, family, cousins, co-workers, every white person you know about antiBlackness and white supremacy.
AntiBlackness lives in every corner of the world, and inside all of us. Yes, even Black people, and it usually manifests as internalized oppression or racism. So we all have to work to undo that in ourselves and in the world.
I can talk facts and numbers and write stories all day, but some white folks will never hear it from me. That’s where the work of white allies comes in. We need you to do that work, because it’s emotional laborious and draining, and it’ll most likely be better received coming from a white person because, honestly, that’s how white supremacy works.
