Help! My White Partner Needs To Start Their Anti-Racism Journey

There will be two reactions that very well could be opposing.

The first will be everything Sharon addresses wonderfully here. If they are willing to learn this reaction can be open and reassuring; it is 'easier' to accept the societal and cultural forces and their historical implications.

i.e. these things happen to you from outside forces.

The second will be a reaction to THEIR enforcement of the system and the actions THEY need to change to limit unintended harm towards their children and partner. This deeply personal journey can be dangerous for people with unaddressed trauma.

i.e. these things happen to you from me.
