"Incremental change" is a Third Way lie.

61. 100% agree with that.

Most of my advocacy for systemic change in racial issues is from what I have heard from BLM leaders and radicals in the local area. They are definitely advocating for massive system change and/or replacement, and are not looking to do so within the US political system.

And of course, it goes without saying that this applies to many other issues as well: I listen to women around me for solutions and understanding of sexism, I listen to my LGBTQ friends who have experienced more discrimination than I have for understanding on those issues (I have been particularly lucky when it comes to that--worst I've had so far is being called a few names for painted fingernails), listening to the Latino population in order to better understand immigration rights, etc.

Of course, my hearing is tinged by my own preconceptions and understanding of the world, but with practice and more listening, hopefully I will be better able to view the world from another's lens.

I do slightly disagree that it's not our place to decide how to solve racism--the decision is not ultimately up to us, but we should absolutely do our best to contribute to the discussion from our limited perspective, provided we are fully aware of those limitations inherent in attempting to understand another's lived experience.
