One thing I'd recommend is checking out this (free) workbook that walks you through confronting your relationship with white supremacy https://www.meandwhitesupremacybook.com/

Also, go to the library (or Amazon?) and check out: How to Be Less Stupid About Race and White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son

The first is a really, really great book that will help you understand the basics of the system of racism and how individuals play their part in upholding it. It's an easy read too. The second book is more like a memoir but still worthwhile. Here's a little excerpt from the summary:

>"Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise demonstrates the ways in which racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits, in relative terms, those who are “white like him.” He discusses how racial privilege can harm whites in the long run and make progressive social change less likely. He explores the ways in which whites can challenge their unjust privileges, and explains in clear and convincing language why it is in the best interest of whites themselves to do so."
