See, I'm kind of not a believer of being safe and welcoming for everyone. I try to be safe for all people, all marginalizations, vulnerabilities, dreams, sorrows, joys, and aspirations. I also try to be extremely inhospitable to those who double down on bigotry and bias, because they get in the way of the honesty, safety and softness I treasure in relationships.
Like you really have to think about what it means when you try to be welcoming to "everyone." Who are you pushing away when you smile for someone who is inhospitable to others for who they are? You're not actually safe for everyone when you are safe for bigots. You have to choose.
So many white people in America would rather get along than see justice done, especially if it means having to fight each other, and the siren song of returning to the false peace of an earlier era of whites only rule leads them to indulge fascists and throw the rest of us under the bus.
