https://tech.lgbt/@aishasie/113333078460493896 aishasie@tech.lgbt - This: #antiracist vs "not racist".

If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color gave me breathing space. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.

And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.

Victory!

Three men and a woman have been found not guilty of criminal damage after toppling the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol, an act of public dissent that reverberated around the world.

Rhian Graham, 30, Milo Ponsford, 26, and Sage Willoughby, 22, were accused, with “others unknown”, of helping to tie ropes around the statue’s neck and joining with others to pull it to the ground.

Jake Skuse, 33, was accused of helping to roll it to Bristol harbour where it was thrown into the River Avon.

In a 10-day trial at Bristol crown court, the four defendants did not contest their actions on 7 June 2020 but sought to argue they were justified, because the statue was so offensive.

Giving evidence in their own defence, each described being motivated out of sincere #antiracist conviction, frustration that previous attempts to persuade the council to remove the statue had failed, and a belief that the statue was so offensive it constituted an indecent display or a hate crime.
