Thank so much for your thoughtful response and for your advocacy. I agree that it is not a binary (racist or antiracist) and explore it in terms of a relationship model as a continuum. So being a little racist is consistent with being an underfunctioning antiracist. I have written an article about it https://medium.com/an-injustice/not-a-racist-then-lets-be-better-anti-racists-fc35feb23bcd?source=friends_link&sk=a0fea976df1b45b6e2503f10fe279475
I really appreciate your perspective and from a spiritual framework I have had to learn to love some of my “friends” who are Trump supporters at a distance. I can respect their right to their political views but when they vote consistently, despite information of its impact on BIPOC, for policies and practices that benefits whites and disadvantage people of color, then I cannot call that person a friend. I can be friendly toward them, but I cannot call them a friend. As a black woman and the recipient of racism it is just not possible for me. However, I can understand that it is possible for whites to do so and to “dance with the enemy” and work within their circle of influence for racial equity.
