African American

Perhaps a good first step would be to start a thread in the AA forum, and ask for input on the idea of something along the lines of a "how to be a good AA ally / white awakener" sub-forum. I don't know whether or not that would be the appropriate venue for such discussions, but it does seem like an appropriate place to ask.

It's a very awkward subject, because while of course white people certainly shouldn't be trying to assume leadership of AA issues, there are at the same time some subjects where a coordinated message supported by the AA community may be most effectively delivered to a specific target audience by a white person, simply because there is no possibility for an unintended perception along the lines of "you are oppressing me", and thus some degree of reflexive defensiveness can be avoided.
