Ellie asked this question about Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race:
I don't feel the most comfortable asking this question but I'm asking because this is a topic I don't tend to read about much out of, again, discomfort. Not because I can't accept what my ancestors did, more because I'm worried about the chance I might disagree with some of it.

Instead of being afraid of it embrace it and use it as an opportunity to learn about things that you wouldn't generally come across. It's ok to disagree but make sure you have an understanding as to why you disagree and are actively listening to the opposing side of the argument to understand it not to negate it.(less)
