<p class="has-drop-cap">As protests continue across the U.S. —
and the world — one way we can support the movement for justice,
equality, and real transformative change for Black people is to take
the time to read, listen, and learn more deeply about
institutionalized racism in America. </p>
<p>You’ll find recent posts by fellow creators in the
WordPress.com community in the <a
href="https://wordpress.com/tag/black-lives-matter">Black Lives
Matter</a> tag in the Reader. Below, we’ve compiled posts across
blogs and publications that can act as starting points for deeper
reading, and we’ll also highlight more Black authors and
storytellers over the next week.</p>

White People, This is What We Want You to Do</a></h3>
<p>“What can I do?” In a powerful post at <em><a
href="https://insidethekandidish.wordpress.com/">Inside the Kandi
Dish</a></em>, Kandise Le Blanc sums it up: Read. Donate. Check in on
your Black loved ones. Take a good look at yourself. Get
uncomfortable. </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>I want you to acknowledge that
your life is easier because you're white. I want you
to <strong>admit that you would never choose to be a Black
person</strong>— because you know your life would be
harder. </p></blockquote>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>I want you to know that
<strong>you are the byproduct of a successful racist regime</strong>
that has capitalized off of Black oppression and suppression for
centuries. I want you to realize that being racist is more American
than apple pie.</p></blockquote>

<h3><a href="https://southseattleemerald.com/2018/12/05/intersectionality-what-it-means-to-be-autistic-femme-and-black/">Black
Autistics Exist: An Argument for Intersectional Disability
Justice</a></h3>
<p>What does it mean to be autistic, femme, and Black? At <em><a
href="https://southseattleemerald.com/">South Seattle
Emerald</a></em>, ChrisTiana ObeySumner writes about <a
href="https://southseattleemerald.com/2018/12/05/intersectionality-what-it-means-to-be-autistic-femme-and-black/">the
lack of awareness of intersectionally disabled people</a> —
people whose “intersectionality include[s] one or more
disability, a non-White racial identity, and other socially
marginalized intersections.”</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>When I started searching the
internet and Seattle University's libraries for anything I could find
about the intersectionality of race and autism, I noticed a disturbing
pattern: There were a significantly miniscule number of articles,
books, or blogs about people who share my intersections. I was livid.
Am I really asking for too much? To see affirmation, narratives, and
research about what it means to be Autistic, (let alone, in addition
to chronic neurological and psychiatric disability,) Femme, <em>and
Black</em>?</p><p>The even more infuriating piece of this is how much
this sounds like I am asking to win Publishers Clearing House with the
big check, the balloons, and Ed McMahon showing up on my doorstep.
It's beyond dismissive; it's violent, isolating, and disaffirming. I
feel left out, alone, erased from the sociopolitical discourses of
what it means to be autistic/disabled, what it sociopolitically means
to be femme and autistic/disabled, and what it sociopolitically means
to be femme, autistic/disabled, <em>and Black</em> — and these are
only <em>three components</em> of my intersectionality that I wear the
most "out loud."</p></blockquote>

<h3><a href="https://www.fairobserver.com/region/north_america/racism-america-black-african-american-culture-news-latest-world-news-today-20126/">Being
Black in America</a></h3>
<p>In an interview from 2019, the staff at <em><a
href="https://www.fairobserver.com/">Fair Observer</a></em> talks with
Akil Houston, a filmmaker and associate professor of cultural and
media studies at Ohio University, <a
href="https://www.fairobserver.com/region/north_america/racism-america-black-african-american-culture-news-latest-world-news-today-20126/">about
racial inequality and the portrayal of Black Americans in the
media</a>.</p>
<p>In 1968, the late writer James Baldwin was asked a similar question
by <em>Esquire</em> magazine. His response was that, if "the American
black man [and women too] is going to become a free person in this
country, the people of this country have to give up something. If they
don't give it up, it will be taken from them." I would argue that the
"give up" portion has to do with the assumption that the promise of a
just and truly democratic society is the responsibility of the
marginalized. As Baldwin cautioned then, and I would echo now the
responsibility is in large measure on white citizens who can influence
the national conversation and the behavior of their families and
friends in ways that marginalized groups cannot.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Justice can only be found in the
creation of a new political and economic system. The roots of
oppression are coded into the DNA of racial capitalism. The pretense
that there can ever be justice within this framework is one of the
biggest myths that holds back transformative
