8. I think Harriot made his case in the article regarding your beef.

From the article...
And maybe I should go back and add the word some before every mention of white people in this article because I’d bet every penny I have that at least one white person with good intentions is reading this while murmuring, "Not all white people ..." Which is exactly my point.

Some is not enough.

Some white people will speak out sometimes, just like some fish can fly and some bears can ride bicycles. But if a biologist were lecturing on the mobility of aquatic animals or grizzlies, it would be idiotic to interrupt with the rare cases of flying fish or bears that ride Huffys.


I wish that more white people could join groups such as Healing from Whiteness and White Awake because it might be easier for you to put aside all the emotional hurt to listen and learn from other whites. Jeez, I wish awoke white people on this board could start such a forum because, quite frankly, your beef is like a ton of others who've come here to lecture. It's boring, exhausting to explain, and I feel like calling the White Nonsense Roundup crew. https://whitenonsenseroundup.com/how-it-works/
