Abgebildet ist eine Buchseite vor einer Kommode mit Teekanne und Radio. Darauf das Zitat: „in instances where your white priviledge has been highlighted, how do you manage any defensiveness? ad: I listen. i let the person know i've heard them. i might ask the person if they need anything from me in this moment. i might offer an apology. i thank the person for taking the time to educate me. i let the person know that i will think more about what they said. i debrief with other white people. sometimes, depending on the situation, i debrief and discuss with people of colour with their consent. i don't expect any of this to feel comfortable.“ (Vivek Shraya)

Simple reminder for when I fucked up, again.

Blatt für Blatt versuche ich, aus kruden Schuldkonzepten herauszutreten. Selbstverständlich werde ich es nicht gut machen. Privilegienarbeit krallt nicht nach Selbstwert, sondern nach Neudenken. Brennt? Darf es.
