One of the obvious pitfalls in this community is the wide disparity between whitebois online claiming to support the BNWO because it turns them on as a fetish and people actually trying to do so to support it beyond that, either because the majority of them don't know how, think they aren't able to, or are too scared too.
I've been trying to support the BNWO in small simple ways in my daily life such as supporting more local Black owned businesses, giving more compliments to black strangers while out, or generally being more courteous to the Black men and women I come across while outside or online.
For instance today while on the bus all the seats were taken when a Black man got on, so I got up and offered him my seat which he gladly took.
It is the small practical things like that which make me feel like I am actually able to submit to and support the BNWO without it just feeling like empty words.
I would love to hear about other ways you all try to support the BNWO in your life that I and others could apply to our own too!
