My contempt for racist white people claiming that their use of racist tropes springs from ignorance is grounded in 20+ years of me, a white person, finding it INCREDIBLY FUCKING EASY to locate, listen to, and absorb info from BIPOC about what constitutes racism and how to divest from it.
Black & Indigenous people and people of color WANT us to know these things. They share this info often. There are books. There are articles and documentaries. Endless posts on social media. Get it together! And for fuck's sake shut your piehole sometimes!

@SallyStrange But that means asking things and listening to responses, and sometimes even parsing and thinking about what was said.

It's depressing, but that absolutely seems like the real stopping point- 'You mean I have to listen? Can't I just go with my priors and confirm them?' 'Well n- you're already onto the next thing in your mind, aren't you'
