1. Educate yourself. Learning about what white privilege is – and what it isn’t – is the first step.
2. Talk to other white people about race. Educating your own family and community is one of the most important things you can do.
3. Amplify the voices of people of color. Follow hashtags like #blacklivesmatter and turn up the volume on people of color sharing their own lived experiences.
4. Challenge racism when you see it. It’s often safer or easier for a white person to speak up in these situations.
5. Get involved in organizations doing anti-racist work.

Oh my God it’s like the internet never learns. Allow me to copy-paste from the last time I saw something like this:
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - the trick to disabling shit like this is to make your bogus calls indistinguishable from real ones. Don’t do cursed images and memes, do fake names and classes that never existed. Force them to waste ten minutes for every call you make, hunting down something that sounds real but ultimately yields no fruit. A cursed image takes two seconds to close, but a well-constructed phoney tip can take quite some time - time that is in turn taken away from pursuing actual tipoffs. Get enough people doing that, and suddenly they either burn their whole day chasing people who don’t exist, or they start to ignore legit tips in case they’re also bogus. And THAT’S how you kill a tip line.”
