5 reasons why you’re failing as an ally

<p><strong><em>You make excuses for your racist friends/family.</em></strong><em>&nbsp;</em>There&rsquo;s no excusing racism. Yes, it&rsquo;s harder to address with people you love, but this is the work. If you let it slide, you&rsquo;re complicit. Period. Either you&rsquo;re anti-racist or you&rsquo;re not. You can&rsquo;t pick and choose which racist white people you call out. Anti-racism means you address it wherever you see it. That means confronting your parents, siblings, husband, children, friends, etc. While it&rsquo;s important to do the larger tasks such as marching for change, it&rsquo;s equally important to educate the people around you. Anti-racism work is also a grassroots effort. Work on changing the minds of people in your lives.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@LeciaMichelle/5-reasons-why-youre-failing-as-an-ally-f2a0709d9a4a"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
