Internal anti-blackness barrier to true connections

p>The older I get the clearer I see how White Supremacy +/or White Privilege is expressed in others including people of global majority and of course White people. I surprise myself in how naive I am still as I approach my 7th hour, especially when it comes to how much personal work we all need to do to get past these internal barriers. How little empathy we all have for the other when we discover the chink in the armor. Race + Identity in American can be painful and lonely at times.

That’s how I’m feeling right now.
