“The test of how racist you are is not how many people of color you can count as friends,” I recall someone telling me—I can’t remember who now. “It’s how many white people you’re willing to talk to about racism.”

(via so-treu)

THIS!!!!!!! If you are not actively calling out your white friends on their racism, you are not an ally. Plain and simple. If you are not policing your own whiteness, you are not an ally.
