    sources

    my writing practice for this book consisted of consuming a lot of poetry. below is a list of books by black and indigenous authors, and authors of colour that were particularly inspiring:

    the black unicorn: poems, audre lorde

    citizen: an american lyric, claudia rankine

    for your own good, leah horlick

    kiyâm, naomi mcilwraith

    seva, sharanpal ruprai

    salt, nayyirah waheed

    brown dreams

    how often must you prove your pigment

    when your entire body is painted bronze

    have you ever heard white question its colour

    snow moon salt milk tooth chalk

    what if there is no right way to be brown

    besides the brown you are

    soil nut clove wheat bark pluto.

    how many books have to be written?

    two hundred thousand years

    of human life

    fire flight language music wheel

    architecture vaccine electricity

    one five ten fifteen twenty years

    from now another brown person

    stares at white screen glare

    types the word race

    five billion years

    until the sun dies.

    skeptic

    once i loved a brown woman

    you said i hated myself

    now i also love a white man

    you say i hate myself.

    i have been aching for you to remember me to remember you

    as intimate instead of adversary so how can i love you better?

    being an ally is ultimately learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

    : i think many white people are angry about racism, but white people are both consciously and unconsciously attached to power. white people are taught that our experiences are authoritative and right. when we learn to be allies, we must wake up the fact that we are actually so fucking ignorant. we’re undereducated when it comes to just about anything outside of the white gaze, and we’re grossly under-practiced in talking about racism.

    i don’t think privilege makes any one human a bad person. i think ignoring your privilege, defending your privilege, or refusing to understand where that privilege comes from is the problem.
