A movement for ALL Black and Indigenous people around the world. However, in recent discussions around BLM, it has become apparent to me that many people I have spoken to misunderstand what racism truely is and who can experience it. We live in a society that is built upon foundations of White supremacy (the notion that Whiteness is the norm, the standard and the ideal). Racism is systemic and as such White people are in the position of power. If you can’t see this, then there is a good chance that is because you are benefitting from this system. Racism requires prejudice but also social and institutional power. Therefore, White people can experience prejudice but they cannot experience racism. We are taught that racism looks like violence and overt discrimination, which of course it does, but racism also manifests in many other ways, some of which are much more insidious than that. Racism can be covert, such as in the form of racial micro-aggressions and is often unintentional. Impact however, outweighs intention. Being a good ally requires us all to look at ourselves and the ways in which we are complicit. It is our responsibility to self-interrogate and to examine and overcome our hidden biases. As BIPOC we are forced to engage with the conversation about race every single day. We do not get to switch off from it when we become fatigued. It is always playing out in the background. So, please remember that whilst you may be on a steep learning curve right now these are conversations that our communities have been having for a very, very long time and we are tired. We are tired and this is the reason that I need to tell you it is no longer enough to say you are not racist. We need people to be actively anti-racist. If you want to be considered an ally to BIPOC, we need you to commit to working daily at dismantling the systems that marginalise us...Continued in comments...#sharethemicnow #sharethemicnowaustralia」6月16日 8時44分
