Hey, fellow white folks.
Instead of defensively getting in someone else's mentions or otherwise centering your discomfort, how about reading something by an anti-racist organizer?
If you don't know where to start, maybe read some Chris Crass?
He talks about his history with Food Not Bombs and other organizations in _Toward Collective Liberation_ ( https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=518 ).
I also just learned that his website lets you just download the pdf of _Towards the Other America: Anti-Racist Resources for White People Taking Action for Black Lives Matter_ ( http://www.chriscrass.org/uploads/1/7/7/9/17797213/towards-the-other-america-ebook.pdf ).
There's also a ton of resources from the Catalyst Project: https://collectiveliberation.org/our-organization/history/
You can do this. We can do this.
Collectively, we can and will do this.
