I think the most commonly asked question I get from white people is “how can we help/be a better ally.”There’s a whole lot I could say, but I think the one thing y’all really need to work on is making room for anger.

The only reason I think the relationship with the 2 white friends I have left works, is because both of them give me the space and the room to be angry. To be downright hateful if I feel like it.

A lot of you want to help, but only as long as it feels good. Only as long as you don’t feel guilty or hurt. Get over that. Give us the space to be angry.
