The good news? You’re a lovely person. The bad news? Racism is so deeply ingrained in the history of the United States that racial injustice is part of the air we breathe. Consequently, it is virtually impossible to move through this society completely unaffected by racism.
Not committing hate crimes does not an anti-racist make. Because of how deep racism runs in our world, sometimes we can be racist and not even recognize it as such.
Only after we acknowledge our complicity in the racist structures surrounding us, can we dismantle the stronghold of white supremacy. It takes work. Good, honest work. It takes disciplined intentionality to live an anti-racist life.
It’s time to strengthen our anti-racist work ethic. It is our calling as lovely people.
