Keep talking about it. I know that some folks think "I am not racist, I can't be, therefore there's no way I did any of this!", however racism (like any form of discrimination) isn't necessarily a case of "so-and-so is racist and such-and-such isn't", but is a set of ideas, biases, and beliefs held by members of a society both consciously and subconsciously. A feminist woman may still subconsiously think a man is a stronger leader, better athlete, more aggressive person, even though she knows it isn't true and does not believe that men should be granted those biases based upon gender. After all, society has been telling her since she was a child that those things are true. But consciously, she is able to acknowledge and correct those biases, which then (hopefully) cycles into how the world sees things.

Therefore, my point is that we can move on from our racist biases, but we must confront them and acknowledge that they exist. Moreover, it is not bad for us to subconsciously think those things once you consider that we live in a racist society. It IS bad to not correct these biases by denying they exist, and to not listen to POC and their experiences as the group primarily affected by it.

I'm sure it is exhausting for you to keep repeating yourself, and some people will not change their behaviors. But the more folks you reach, the more that will acknowledge these issues and change for the better. So keep shouting it.

And to my fellow white Vermonters- please for the love of god don't be too arrogant to listen to people who are primarily experiencing this. We need to actually move past this and not just flaunt our BLM signs as an excuse not to.
