I am so tired of the unnecessary complex sentence structures that ultimately distract the reader from the task at hand that is to dismantle racism.

Racism is a complex system on its own and does not need to be made more complex by white "antiracist scholars". Our job is to make theories around the construction of race as simple and accessible as possible, not showboat our ability to perpetuate the complexities of racism.

We dismantle racism by equipping people with knowledge so that they can fight for themselves. Gatekepping does nothing and in my opinion perpetuates the white savior complex.
