Dual national living in the Netherlands, still trying to figure out the Fediverse. I like Cool Jazz, French Phenomenology, and Ethiopian food. Not necessarily in that order.

💛 “10 Steps to Being an Ally to Marginalized Groups”

Being an ally shouldn’t be a badge someone wears, like liberal street cred. It’s fundamentally a way of seeing the world in which you understand that every person is deserving of the same human rights and a chance to succeed in life.

Many allies understand this. But the reality is, aside from blocking raciest *ssholes in social media, in our daily lives we have few opportunities to stand up and and make our voices as allies heard (voting aside of course). It's not your job to educate anyone or seek alliances, but sometimes such messages are disheartening, making some like fakes. I don't need a cookie, but equally I don't want to be accused of being fake.

"...but anti-Black racism can be found everywhere" Yes definitely. I grew up in the Deep South and moved to NL the first chance I had. Was surprised that racism have different "flavors." In NL we are only beginning to come to terms with our colonial past lately. Thank you for this and your other comments; they are helpful and on point (for me).
