Allyship is a term used to describe white people who support, defend, and protect people of color and Indigenous people. This article moves past the notion of "ally" as an identity and "allyship" as a course of action into "antiracism" as a lifelong journey. Addressing her fellow white people-and particularly white Americans-the author handles this subject in three parts: (1) admitting that we live in a world that centers whiteness constantly, (2) using reflection to neutralize our defensiveness and understand our own motives, and (3) understanding our responsibility to stay present even when our trauma has been triggered. The article culminates in a reflection on what it could mean to increase our emotional maturity-that is, to "grow up and grow out" of racist ways of thinking, being, and doing.
同盟关系是一个术语,用于描述支持、捍卫和保护有色人种及原住民的白人。本文超越了将“同盟者”视为一种身份以及将“同盟关系”视为一种行动方式的概念,进入了将“反种族主义”视为终身旅程的范畴。作者针对她的白人同胞——尤其是美国白人——分三个部分探讨了这个主题:(1)承认我们生活在一个始终以白人为中心的世界里;(2)通过反思来消除我们的防御心理并理解我们自己的动机;(3)明白即使我们的创伤被触发,我们也有责任保持在场。文章最后反思了提高我们的情感成熟度意味着什么——也就是说,从种族主义的思维、存在和行为方式中“成长并摆脱出来”。
