Dear fellow white people,
If we want to end racism, we need to hold ourselves accountable for racism.
If youâre a white feminist who thinks ânot all menâ is bullshit, you should recognize that ânot all white peopleâ is equally bullshit. If you are a white person who flinches at the term âwhite terroristâ: Good. Flinch all you want, but use the phrase, because itâs accurate. It makes us white people uncomfortable, and thatâs a good thing. We canât fight racism while feeling comfortable. It doesnât work like that.
When a white man walks into a black community and opens fire on unarmed civilians, he is a white terrorist.
I know itâs uncomfortable. We better be uncomfortable when talking about oppression if we ourselves are the oppressors. Sure, we may or may not intend to oppress or be aware that we are oppressive. But by being white, we benefit from white privilege, regardless of our intentions.
