I've wondered how you couldnavigate finding commonality and interPoC alliance building, while also avoiding being appropriative of another PoC group's experiences. In other words, how do you avoid reinforcing the racist system and not use people as stepping stones?

Yeah. And a lot of this I am still figuring out, because there is so much baggage in terms of how much internalized racism there is and how it also interacts with the different groups we're all a part of. And to somehow do it while not denying or policing people's experiences but also while checking yourself to make sure you're not contributing to the problem.
