If you're not ready to be uncomfortable then you're not genuinely moving towards being an ally. You have to be willingly uncomfortable and unpack, unlearn, and reprogram your entire way of being and how you contribute to White Surpremacy that puts Black lives in danger.

I want to say... Kids are SMART. They can soak in so much info and take in so many diverse perspectives- more often than adults believe they can. I see this so much in trying to dumb down storytelling to kids so they, "get it"...

Pls be mindful when learning how to be an ally. Don't project your feelings of discomfort onto Black folx & expect them to soothe you. You need to sit w/ that discomfort & work through it. Black people don't have the energy to hold your hand while we're trying to hold ourselves.

Also, on a storyboarding note, so many board artists are legit writers of the episodes they board on too, it would be amazing?? if this happened to us???
A ‘King of the Hill’ writer shares how he’s still getting paid hundreds of dollars in monthly residuals for episodes he wrote over a decade ago. This is what artists in the Animation Guild deserve too.

Racism is a SPECTRUM. Black folx especially know all to well the nuances of racism because we live with it everyday, but for White/non-Black folx, it's crucial you expand your understanding of what racism is, beyond being called racial slurs.

Now more than ever, Canadians cannot afford to point the finger at America & say this doesn't affect us.

Allyship is a lifestyle because it's a lifetime's worth of work. You can't call yourself an ally if you did *some work* for 2 months then tapped out. Racism doesn't take a break. Black folx don't get to tap outta the system.
We need allies, doing the work, for all their days.

So what you're really saying is, you don't want to see us win, huh? *Foreign languages* included in films do not make the film not American. It just makes it not exclusively White. 👀

It's extremely problematic to say to a Black person, that they need to work on their de-escalation skills. We can't even de-escalate a situation (MOST OFTEN NOT ESCALATED BY US) when the instigator sees nothing but the colour of our skin and refuses to calm down as a result.
