The woman was recording her podcast from Australia where she’d just immigrated. She was laying on her bed and trying to get her pillow comfortable. That’s what she was doing when she said this. It rattled me so completely that I forgot her name. It’s not an exact quote either. It’s what I can remember. But what she said was like…
“White people, you can’t be immigrating away from your country because it’s tough. If you want to be an ally you need to stay there and fix white supremacy. You’ve gotta do it.“
Whoever you are, wise woman, someday I may be able to thank you for the clarity, cause I needed it. But right now I’m kind of mind-boggled. Is white supremacy fix-able?
She told me how to be a good ally…
She just told me how to be a real ally
