Appreciate the conversations about how white actions are perceived by black people. I am half Japanese and half white, and this content was all good for me to hear. I consider myself fairly sensitive to how others would feel with any action I take, and I still felt like these conversations sobered me up to areas that I have not been a legit friend, or even ally, to black people. It caused me to recall past conversations I have had with other white people where I was complicit in, at least, racist comments, whether by something I said or did not speak out against. It’s helpful to hear black people share how it feels to have others so blatantly disregard their humanity or to feel like others, especially white people, have not been listening to what they’ve been saying for the past 400 years. Thank you for sharing this, Tori!
