Yes, we can. My question is simple:
What are we going to *do*?
Words aren't enough. Words have *never* been enough.
Personally, I've decided to do something locally by contacting my local Racial Equality Council to see how I can be active.
As for countersocial, what can we *do*?
1. White people here need to *stop* telling black people what is the right way to express their anger, pain, fear, joy based on their experience.
If we don't like it? We STFU.

2. White people need to understand that to be black is to be *born* into a *political* struggle and that the rage we see them express is born of centuries of institutionlized oppression which continues to this day.
3. When we see racism or oppressive attitudes here, we damned well call it out! Do not stand for it under any circumstances. Including when we see other nauts doing what I mentioned in (1.).
