As an individual white anti racist, I believe the sensible thing for me to do is offer support and solidarity as an ally of BLM. To calmly confront antagonistic racism when I encounter it. But otherwise keep my mouth shut, and not be one of those ego driven white liberals, who push to the front taking over centre stage of protests in a most patronising and paternalistic manner.. Seems like there's been too many of them on the media and internet recently... They make themselves look like useful idiot stereotypes the reactionaries can exploit for evil purposes, and in so doing, undermine the credibility of a far too serious cause. Just the 'imho' of an insomniac...
