  • As someone who is not a US citizen, I can’t understand what it’s all about. How could someone tell the color of the person who is participating? For me, everybody is just the same, and I can only judge them for what they’re saying, not who they are.

    1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices;

    Isn’t it already done independently of the skin color of the person?

    1. Post less – and think before you post

    I can only guess this point is lacking context.

    1. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it

    I can’t say I have seen it, and I believe it happens a lot, so I guess people are reporting. That’s the better point of the list!

    1. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

    If the message is good and promotes equality, normal people gravitate to it. Racist people will not care regardless of this text.

    1. Approach it intersectionally

    What?





  • I met a traveller from an antique land,

    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

    And on the pedestal, these words appear:

    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    Shelley’s Poetry and Prose (1977)
