Juneteenth is about enslaved Black People in America learning about their freedom. It’s not about People of Color. It’s not about any other issue you want to hitch to that. That’s all.

For all the allies supporting Simone Biles for speaking up for herself, please remember that at work when a Black woman speaks up in staff meeting. Support her IN the meeting - not in the hallway AFTER the meeting, when you whisper, “I wish I was as strong as you.”

This was a LAW. “According to Dr. Ronald L. F. Davis of California State University,  Jim Crow laws provided “racial etiquette” for Black people. Black people were required to be “agreeable and non-challenging, even when the White person was mistaken about something.”

White people don’t need another panel, another documentary, another Ava DuVernay Netflix special, another anything. White people just need to face themselves. We aren’t going to study or Netflix our way out of racism. WE ADMIT AND FACE OUR WAY OUT OF RACISM.
