White GandalfThis is for white people: The point is not telling a target of #racism to block report and defederate so that they (and you) no longer need to see it and you can stay comfortable. The point is supporting them when they call it out and then YOU end it, or at least make it have consequences, by your own actions and within yourself. When racism is pointed out, don’t make it the observer’s fault. Go after the perp. It’s a white people problem.

When I have these slightly awkward conversations with well-meaning white folks I often say:
Use your powers for good, people. Step *into* the fray and use your social power (and other power) against the racist person. The silent bystander thing is *not* going to cut it.
