I don't think that there's an obvious answer. It's not a bad thing that the emphasis has been on the self organisation of Black and brown people, and it lots of ways this has been a corrective to a longstanding failure to integrate an analysis of race within class and/or gender.

The things they've been told to do range from the politically useful (read, listen, learn) to the politics of ritualised self-abasement which helps no one, and adds nothing to the conversation.

"Privilege checking" mostly boils down to white people prefacing the things they want to say by apologetically telling us that they're white first. Which comes from a place of sincerity, of really trying to grapple with, and respond to, the political moment. But it's useless.

Again, there aren't obvious answers to this. But I think the more we avoid tough questions, the more space is left to cynical actors appropriating the language of racial liberation for their own self-serving purposes.
