Holly Douglass provided an affirmation to the Newmarket Anti-Black Racism Task Force which included the following quote from the podcast On Being episode 855 entitled Robin DiAngelo and Resmaa Menekem: In Conversation.
“For me, this idea of allyship really does fall into the place of whether or not white people have the capacity to stop what I call Declarations of Independence. Declarations of I’m not racist. Declarations of I’m an ally. Declarations that I’m a good individual white person – and they’re going to have to start really beginning to figure out how to build a CULTURE around abolishing white supremacy. Anything other than that, for me, really is performance art. It’s not real. If you’re not going to be with other white bodies, grinding on specifically about race and specifically about the things that show up when white bodies get together to build culture – then I’m not interested in your credentialing or your virtue signaling”.
