Also, perhaps you could consider phrasing the post you've been thinking about in terms of self-exploration as opposed to self-justification.
I wasn't going to post anything, because I feel that I'm still at an embryonic stage of recognising racism in myself and understanding my behaviour, but after reading around I think that maybe these experiences are important to share. That it's important to have as many voices talking about and decrying racism as possible. Perhaps if we talk about how hard we find it to shed our preconceptions and what we do to counter that, it may lead to other people explore their own.
I don't know. Like I said, I'm a newbie to all this (and that's my privilege).
