How not to fight racism:

How to fight racism:

• Challenge any and all racial stereotypes.
• Acknowledge and fight the racism you have internalized.
• Acknowledge and fight external racism.
• Address someone when expressing something racist, in a nonviolent and logical way.
• Address it when members of your own race are fighting racism in the wrong way.
• Do not use the term “reverse racism.”
• Don’t be biased, be consistent when addressing racial issues. 
• Do not overlook problematic beliefs just because the person expressing them is agreeing with you.
• Don’t enforce stereotypes. 

Things to remember:

• Racism isn’t specific to any certain group.
  
• That reverse racism isn’t a thing because the definition of racism is not race-specific, not because you think a white person can’t experience racism. 
• The definition of racism.
• Calling someone names or using bad language won’t make a difference.
• Making blogs dedicated to shaming white people won’t help, either. 
• Making fun of “white” culture won’t help.
• No one’s feelings should be devalued because of their race alone.
• That racist ideas and stereotypes are literally shoved down our throats at a young age and that many people don’t even know they’re racist or posses racist beliefs.
• That adding more racism will not solve anything.
