But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together." The sense of your liberation bound with mine is what I've always perceived of you.

You ask what will it take to wake up the rest of white people. It's exactly what you're doing here because you're a natural at getting like-minded white allies to go a little deeper and express themselves.

I've wondered in the past what it would take at DU for white allies to form their own group to share and educate each other about what they know, discuss feelings of being allies, tips for dealing with racism because I'm certain allies don't get much support IRL. A safe place for the some of the 99% of white DUers who wish to engage without trepidation or fear of weighing in at the AA forum but, of course, with some precepts.

But if that never happens, just want to say that you're doing an exceptional job here as a poster, an ally, and a moderator of this forum. Thanks!
