absolutely hold your own line- racism is a slippery slope that is getting steeper before our eyes (thanks DJT). but you know what else, black folks gotta be tired of taking all the responsibility for educating ignorant white folks. it's about time white allies act like it and when you hear some fuct shit out in the world- call it out. take some responsibility to mitigate a tiny bit of the sea of hurtful ignorance out there!
