To my fellow white folks in this community: making ourselves feel better by looking away from Black people's pain and pretending that we haven't perpetuated it is not self-care. Anti-racism is a lifelong, at times deeply challenging and uncomfortable, ongoing commitment - not a one-time personal development course or a self-help book we can put down and check off the list. Come on in - we need to talk.
