The fact that you all are being honest and confronting what you've been conditioned to believe is a huge leap toward UNlearning racism. For white people and non-white people, it is literally a lifelong process, but it's beautiful and worth it. I'm unlearning so much harmful crap about my own people, my skin and hair, my ancestors and history as a black woman. I'm finally learning the truth, about all people, and it's immensely sad and angering but so freeing. I know that what I'm learning will be translated into empathy, understanding, and real love for others and myself. Love means wanting the truth and justice for oppressed people AND those who oppress... I'm learning to live by that.
