   @StillIRise1963 Something else occurred to me: the fact that the majority of white folks see fighting racism as something “impossible” to get their heads and HEARTS around is all the more reason why it SHOULD be grappled with with all deliberate speed. That whole impossible nature is merely an illusion. A sheen. It’s smoke and mirrors. Lies and fear. The solution is simple, it’s just not easy.

     @clayrivers Well said. 100%. Tbh, I’m always a bit taken aback by white people discussing it in those terms. I’m always left thinking - damn, is it really so fucking hard to see a Black person as a person? I mean, really? It’s hard to wrap the brain around because of the fundamental stupidity of the whole thing.
