#QT https://mas.to/@rickbelanger/112870929030487336 unfortunately, this is NOT the compliment I’m sure you meant it to be…where else in your life do you acknowledge NEEDING the expertise of others and you’d not THINK to compensate them?
This is the parasitic nature of whiteness to treat my sharing as if I work for y’all
I’ve EARNED my expertise and it CONTINUES to come at a cost…so I get it but y’all’s WORDS mean very little…WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

  @KimCrayton1@dair-community.social Thank you! I need to hear strong black voices to help me recognize my own white privilege and bias. To challenge and change my inner dialogues and belief systems (all of which has been formed by a racist and misogynist society). Always a work in progress. My external strategy is developing. Simple things like believing there is racism in the Fediverse, and reporting and blocking are the bare minimum. Followed by using my privilege to effect change in my world.
