I often hear the question, what can liberal Whites do to be allies to people of color? Or the more-generalized question, what can those with privilege do to be allies, not oppressors, in the fight for social justice? A post by Anarchist People of Color regarding actions against Crimethinc. gave me an answer:

"Try to create a culture of calling people out on their shit."

The whole article is good, but I'm tickled to have a soundbite to pass around to people with less patience, too. (is the demand for a soundbite-sized explanations of complex situations a hallmark of privilege? I think the oppressor does live in a simpler world than the oppressed.)
