yeah the best way to actually be helpful isn't trying to learn how to appropriate their struggles better but to understand your own role in them. find some books on things like unconscious bias, learn the history of institutional white supremacy in america especially in regards to things that are still going on like defacto segregation in education, racism in standardized testing, the criminal justice system and the war on drugs. the best thing you can be is an advocate against the kinds of things you, a white liberal who doesn't consider themselves really racist, still do on a daily basis based on assumptions you take for granted
