Excellent article.
The fact is—it is Whites of good will who are silent or indifferent in the face of racial injustice that are the real problem. Too many White (especially White liberals) believe that simply because they are liberal or do not use racial slurs that they are OK. In their mindset, that is all they need to do. This is a very misguided mindset.
Dialogue about race and racism must be direct, continuous and ongoing. Period. To quote the late self-described ” black, lesbian, feminist, poet, warrior” Audre Lorde, ” the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.” Some well meaning Whites need to be reminded of this fact.
