This is an important and timely message that provides the history and current realities. Whiteness brings people into complicity. I was thinking about that over Thanksgiving; Native and Indigenous people call it a Day of Mourning. The House Negro is a good reference because it points out the privilege, proximity, and the duties of the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper sounds like the middleman that makes colonization possible. I feel like I tell people once a week that I don’t like gatekeepers. That’s why I’m on Medium. I have come across a few in work. But I appreciate your point that not all gatekeepers are bad.
