there are a lot of people i follow and would be happy to pay for their efforts. that's a big thing for a lot of writers and speakers.. people expect them to work for free.

fwiw, i do want to hear from BIPoC, but i think if you're working on racism/white supremacy, you do that on your own or with other white people.

The problem of "do it on your own" is that white privilege blinds people to a lot of problematic thinking/actions. An outside viewpoint is needed - TWuG Feb 3, 09:49 3
- well, i mean the work of discussing your personal experiences and issues is personal work.. learning is from someone who is external. - colin Feb 3, 09:53 2
  - You don't just grab some random person and tell them they need to fix you. That would be not good. -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 09:58 1
