You cannot make a safe space for white people
Not a joke. You cannot make a safe space for white people. If you adhere to white safety and comfort then you will become a white supremacist space. Do not let your space become a nursery for whiteness. You must actively push against whiteness, you need to make sure white people know they are not safe there. You need to punish whiteness when it rears its head, and you need to do it quickly and mercilessly
You have to understand that I'm not just talking about overtly wanting "white safe spaces," which is something I've seen a lot of people mistaking this for in the tags. This is something that happens even in day-to-day spaces. The catering to white comforts, the coddling of white discomfort, the censoring and siphoning off of racialized people as a result. You need to be able to identify this, call it out, and cultivate safer spaces for racialized people.
