“It feels bad to wade in the repercussions of our behavior, it feels good to apologize and disavow and consider oneself exempt moving forward. But being online, being white, being online as a white person, means never being exempt. Antiracist as a noun does not exist. There’s only people doing the work, or not. The person genuinely invested in the work doesn’t run from discomfort but accepts it as the price of personhood taken for granted.”
