A Love Letter To White Kin Grappling With White Supremacy

Susan Raffo is a dear friend and a comrade in liberation struggle. When we first met, she frequently led anti-racism trainings for white people that called on them to recognize the oppressor patterns they’d been taught as white people, recognize that oppressor/perpetrator patterns do visit trauma on white bodies, and then undo their own white supremacy, cell by cell. It’s easy to name the terrorism in Charlottesville as white supremacy, but it’s much more difficult to acknowledge the nearly invisible day-to-day ways that people socialized as white enact white supremacy. Last week, I shared Susan’s essay about why progressive-minded white people sometimes feel deep discomfort at having whiteness named as a social and political construct, and one that white people actively participate in.
