This is - elucidating. I have a job (the repatriation of Native American human remains and sacred objects) that specifically involves the confrontation of these issues on a daily basis, so this is a pretty useful list for me for understanding exactly what I rub up against when I get static about what I do. I.e., I don’t always fully understand the parameters of why I face resistance to repatriation, or policy changes, or, shit, even just my own fucking presence a lot of the time. I guess I’ve noticed that, if you’re not White, even your basic frame of reference can set White people off simply because it’s not their frame of reference. This is probably really naive and stupid of me after 40+ years of experiencing this, but - it’s still fucking bewildering every time it happens.

Every white person should read essays/research on white fragility. In order to start uprooting the roots of our racism, we need to be able to locate them and know how deep they go. Any time you feel uncomfortable when dealing with issues of race, that’s a sign you’ve found one, and an opportunity to unlearn whatever racist belief has been growing in you.

i am 11 and i am sat next to a british girl in maths class, she tells me about her ancestors who were miners going on strike and protesting against their working conditions and wages, my jaw falls, i am in awe of their bravery. i am 12 and i understand now what britain’s colonialism did to the subcontinent, i realise that they starved us, forced us to speak english and beat anyone who dared speak any of the tongues belonging to their mothers. i am 15 and i realise that europe’s world famous museums house exhibits created by my people, a symbol of our strength, courage and culture they exotified and expolited. i am 15 and it dawns on me that her ancestors shot mine in amritsar in 1919. i am 15 and it dawns on me that her ancestors slaughtered mine in peshawar in 1930. i am 15 and it dawns on me that my culture is running out of my veins and that my heart is beating today because of the resilience of my people and that i share the blood of life with this land and that my brown-skinned ancestors were braver and stronger than that girl’s could ever dream of being.

It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.
