Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

I think examples might serve people better in this regard. It can be hard to accept things as real that you've never experienced, and don't fit with your lifetime of experiences, purely on faith alone.

Edit: I realize this is the exact opposite of "just accept other people have different experiences", but it's hard to deny that this is something a lot of people have trouble with in a lot of aspects of life. Expecting people to just override the natural state of viewing the world through their own personal lens is always going to be a hard ask.

People asking for examples are not always trying to find ways to tear other experiences apart. Sometimes they might need examples to help them understand better.
