Gather ye round white women. Come to the front. Why is it so easy to be bamboozled by white womeb who are clearly racist bc they’re telling you want to you want to hear. Get uncomfy. Learn something new. De center your whiteness and you’ll fucking fly. I promise. But that requires dropping the ego.
