Instagram post 2325057760410735437_1020419741 “Our only change at dismantling racial injustice is being more curious about its origins than we are worried about our comfort.” ⁣ ⁣ - @austinchanning, “I’m Still Here” ⁣ ⁣ One of the best books on systemic racism and white supremacy I’ve read. ⁣Go buy it now from an indie bookseller & have a read. ⁣ #BlackoutChallenge ⁣#BlackoutWeek ⁣ @drewbrownmusic
Instagram post 2324006720307505519_1020419741 A great way for white people to start learning about systemic racism and how to fight it is listening to @whitehomework, a podcast by @toriglass. And if you can, support her on Patreon & you can access more resources. I’ve found Tori’s work incredibly helpful, I’m confident you will too.
Instagram post 2323989415792092594_1020419741 “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander. Required reading. Buy the book. This is my first post in @drewbrownmusic #BlackoutChallenge. ⁣ ⁣ So here are @drewbrownmusic instructions on how to do this taken from his IG page: ⁣ ⁣ “Step 1: Use the black square that you used on BlackoutDay.⁣⁣ ⁣ Step 2: In the caption.. do one (or more) of these options each day this week:⁣⁣ ⁣ *𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳.

Trump2020, AllLivesMatter, MAGA or BlueLivesMatter… use your imagination. We can use spam as an online act of protest.⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣Blackout day was an issue because it affected the BLM hashtag and it’s flow of information. There was a disruption. ⁣ ⁣ And protests are all about disruption. Be a pain in the ass of white supremacy and black them out“⁣ ⁣ (Use the hashtags #BlackoutWeek & #TheBlackout)

Instagram post 2320669879626021023_1020419741 White supremacy is real. White privilege is real. It’s our job as white people to do the work to learn and unlearn, to respond with action ⁣ ⁣ Here’s some people whose work you might want to begin with: ⁣ ⁣ @theandrehenry ⁣ @austinchanning ⁣ @toriglass ⁣ @isierranichole ⁣ @pastorgricel ⁣ @joluehmann ⁣ @deirdrejonese ⁣ @ijeomaoluo ⁣ ⁣ Books: ⁣ I’m Still Here by Austin Channing⁣ The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander⁣ So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Olou ⁣ Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge (UK-centric). ⁣ ⁣ Netflix: ⁣ 13th - documentary ⁣ ⁣ These are all good places to start. These have all been helpful to me. ⁣ ⁣ Take time. Do the work. Listen. ⁣ ⁣ Things have to change and we have to change. Which begins with listening & doing the work. ⁣ ⁣ #blacklivesmatter
Instagram post 2318432512848675740_1020419741 #GeorgeLloyd deserves justice. My heart breaks for him and all victims of white supremacy. We live in a system of set up to benefit white people. An inherently racist system. That system leads to people like George wrongs losing their lives & not getting justice they deserve. It has to end. And white people like me have to learn to listen, and to stop being part of the problem - and instead be part of the solution. (Thanks @aundikolber for the picture). #justiceforgeorge #blacklivesmatter
