Thanks, Sam! There's a lot of food for thought here. I started capitalizing White because of this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/22/why-white-should-be-capitalized/

The biggest concern I have is that White people (and non-Black POC who benefit from the system, in many ways myself included) will feel like they're off the hook, so to speak. Yes, race is a social construct but until there are no disproportionate outcomes for Blacks and other BIPOC due to systemic racism, then I'm worried about your eagerness to "take the legs out of white identity." But again, thank you, Sam!
