      1. Let this quote sink in: “If I’m in a room with white women, I know that 50 percent of them voted for Trump and they believe in his ideas. I look at them and think, ‘How do you see me? What is my humanity to you?’” msn.com/en-us/news/us/black-americans-deeply-pessimistic-about-country-under-trump-whom-more-than-8-in-10-describe-as-a-racist-post-ipsos-poll-finds/ar-BBZ3t2S

      Fellow white people: Whether you voted for Trump or not, we cannot deny that we (individually or through the system of white supremacy that benefits us) put him in office. We must reject his agenda of hate and work to dismantle all systems of oppression.

    To do this work, we must heed the sage advice of @TatianaTMac and talk to each other about racism (and more). @TatianaTMac/1128698704834129920

      These conversations *will* be uncomfortable, but they need to happen. If you need help, read @IjeomaOluo’s book or @DrIbram’s or @KAnthonyAppiah’s. Listen to @causeascenePod, @SceneOnRadio, or @uncivilshow. (To name but a few.) Educate yourself, this is going to be hard.
