All white people are racists

White people admitting they are racist will be the only way they’re able to decolonize their minds.

Just admit it to yourselves. The rest of the world already knows it. Nothing you say or do can make any sense until you make this admission.

In the same way admitting you are an alcoholic means you’re ready to address substance abuse problems, admitting you are racist means you’re ready to begin the anti-racism journey. No one can help you until you finally admit you have a problem.

While the impact of racism maybe everyone’s problem, the decision to be racist is an individual choice, one white and non-black POC must decide on.

Just say it, honey. Admit you are a racist and that you have been a part of the number one problem America has so that we can move forward.

Remember, being racist is not necessarily your fault. Choosing to stay racist is. All eyes are on you now, white people.

It took black people, native Americans, the Hispanic/Latinx Coalition, witches, wiccans, children, Germans, Europeans, and darned New Zealanders from the other side of the world to get white people to see white people are racist and that black lives did not matter to them. Finally.

Now, let’s move forward.

The only words that matter to me right now are the ones acknowledging white people are racist, and those that denounce racism. Anything else is wasted energy, and ya’ll folks have wasted enough time and energy being in denial about this thing.

Say it now and be proud. You cannot be anti racist until you finally admit that you are racist.
