Advice to white people during this momentous time in our history

115. Aside from using the term sister, the rest of it fits with my personal experience.

White people are being singled out by someone I believe to be white, helping to educate other white folks. That is what allies do. Minorities are often expected to spend a lot of time and energy educating folks - including those who are well-intended - on top of the extra energy it takes just to live their lives. Some voluntarily spend the energy - but we shouldn't expect them to. And to the extent we educate ourselves, as allies, it is helpful if we share what we have learned with others similarly situated.

Unfortunately white folks have a tendency to appropriate other's cultures. Sports teams, clubs for youth, cress, language. We often say we're honoring them (that was the standard response for sports teams), but it doesn't feel like being honored to those whose culture is being appropriated. So the advice is probably appropriate - even if uncomfortable.
