Interesting article that makes some valid points. However, I'm not sure I like how it speaks about Black people as a monolith, as in speaking for all Black people like we all think the same. This question "how are you?" may be annoying to some but to me, it's more open than "how can I help?" It makes the assumption every Black person has taken on this anti-racism movement when they haven't. I believe both questions have a purpose but I do prefer the former. There seems to be a lot of anger from Black communities in both the UK (where I am) and the United States. Yet, when you ask this question of "how can I help?" I have found few can give a direct response (at least in Britain). Yet, asking how someone is, despite it being a bit irritating, can lead to the answer to "how can I help?" - with a more open conversation through unpicking the feelings that would come from the first, albeit, more annoying question. I like to be asked how I am, and what my colleagues can do to help. One doesn't really negate the other. However, my response might speak to the stark differences between Britain and the United States.
