A thread for Good White People who want to know what to do, what not to do, and what you to reconsider. Take these with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile: Where do you do you work? Does it more or less look like the Nazi rally today? Be honest. If so, you're part of the problem.
-
Media is incredibly important at this moment. So what are you reading? Is it work by people of color that's been equitably paid?
-
What publications do you subscribe to? Do they have a good number of black/latinx/native writers, editors, and executives? Have you looked?
-
What articles did you link to on social media the past week? What percentage have a byline from a black/latinx/native person? Do you know?
-
Who are you following and retweeting on Twitter? Is it mostly white people? Do you take any women of color seriously? Why or why not?
-
You may not like to admit it, but your whole life has been about your feelings and about the feelings who share the same skin color as you.
-
This moment is not about your feelings as a white person. If you think it's hard and uncomfy today, imagine what it's like for us.
-
White folks were able to take a ton of land and a ton of labor for nothing. Please stop taking up all the space already. Decenter yourself.
-
I know you want to create an infinite distance between yourself and the Nazis. Take a critical look at the connections instead.
-
Your ability to have lives with better access housing, food, air, education, banking, courts, everything hinges on inequity. Know this.
-
Because even Good White People have unearned privilege. And it's people of color who pay the cost for your admission to an easier life.
