White men, defending white women for using their privilege as a weapon is one of the reasons this issue still persists. I'm so tired of this, it's absolutely exhausting. Psychology Today -- please get a clue. PS: when you use your privilege as a weapon, that may result in someone's death, you are a villain.

As a clinician, I plan to cancel my membership shortly if this isn’t addressed. ENOUGH, Psychology Today. I’ll be sticking with Inclusive Therapists and other directories.

What a terrible way of taking the spotlight from BLM and BIPOC justice to give it to White women who attack oppressed groups. Just another day in America. I expected better from your publication.

This article and others like them continually diminish the actual experience of BIPOC in an effort to assuage the guilt and fragility of white people. If our job, as therapists, is to help people become more resilient as they make sense of the traumatic experiences that they face then it is counter-productive then minimize their experiences in an effort to make the majority culture feel comfortable.

As a seminary student in inter-religious chaplaincy I have learned to recognize the difference between calling out a systemic injustice behavior and supporting a system of white supremacy. You need to learn that too.

And shame on you for not making racism the main topic (or even an article) in the August issue!

I just canceled my membership. I am learning there have been many such actions that show your racial bias. You need to change.

As a white middle aged woman, I recognize the article to be upholding racist ideas and harming BIPOC.

I want Psychology Today to center the voices of Black people when discussing Black people stuff. No more white people (especially men) telling Black people (or anyone for that matter) what to do.

This type of article is completely insensitive to the racial disparity that BIPOC face on a daily basis. It is inappropriate and diminishes those who know how to behave in public. By definition integrity is doing what is right when no one else is watching and because certain persons believe that their entitlement is above and beyond that of others we are forced to have to point out these types of actions. Had the any integrity no videos would be recorded

This is sad. People can't grow until they recognize that they have privilege.
