@Hala_Berry I've done that, too. I've been the non-black person of color who thinks I can tell black people anything.

@Hala_Berry I've been able to hide behind a broad identity and ignore the voices of the very women I pretended to be in solidarity with.

@Hala_Berry By doing so, I was employing anti-blackness to work for me.

@Hala_Berry It wasn't until I decentered myself and allowed for criticism, through listening, that I was able to see this.

@Hala_Berry If you really want to practice solidarity, you have to begin with listening. And being willing to accept that you're wrong.

@Hala_Berry I encourage you, at the very least, to apologize to Sydette for cussing her out.

@Hala_Berry And don't apologize for how she feels. Apologize for what you did.
