The only positive out of the s-storm (for me) is the education I get from the mouths of people who have directly experienced racism and speak out against it. I was quite sheltered. My father dropped racial slurs thinking he was hilarious. My mother has ingrained racism that I am constantly correcting. I know that I am quite ignorant on the topic, but have tried to educate myself directly and have been indirectly educated by witnessing racism (and the after-effects of it) directed at people I have associated with over my lifetime. I am not racist, however I do suffer from unconscious racism at times that I acknowledge within myself and try to correct. I am forever grateful that the conversation is so freely available for people like myself to eavesdrop to thanks to social media, especially tiktok as I can now be educated whilst walking my dog or going around the shop. We can all do up, but we have to be open to being educated without being aggressively defensive. I'm not sure why that is so hard for some of these people to grasp.
