fractions of always

it's is a crazy message to think the requirement is that you think about anti-racism always. that kind of thinking leads to "it's too big, i give up." it's yet another white defense against dealing with white privilege.

the requirement is that you white people do more than you have been. more. and way too many of you are not even doing that.

you white people have the option of dealing with a fraction of always when it comes to racism. poc always deal with racism - always. you white people only have to deal with a fraction of always - and then at your choosing. you need to understand that - that you must actively choose to do more.

you need to learn that you always have white privilege. always. and that in that one thing you need to strive to always be conscious of your white privilege - strive for that. but realize that you will only reach a fraction of always.

don't setup impossible goals, because that makes for an easy excuse when you do nothing at all.
