“While white supremacy culture affects us all, harms us all, and is toxic to us all, it does not affect, harm, and violate us in the same way. White supremacy targets and violates BIPOC people and communities with the intent to destroy them directly.
White supremacy targets and violates white people with a persistent invitation to collude that will inevitably destroy their humanity.”
