Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her boyfriend Riley Roberts offered a gradual three-step approach for helping white people do their part to combat racism.

The New York Democrat took on a wide range of questions from followers in her latest Instagram Q & A session Friday night, including one about how white people can help "chip away" at racist beliefs among fellow Caucasian friends and family. Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts--who has largely avoided public remarks during his girlfriend's time in office--offered side-by-side "tips on combating racism as a White person," as well as responses to questions about generational wealth and the "hot mess" Iowa caucuses.

"Talk to other White people," read a caption for the first step offered by Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts. "Most people don't want to be/think they are racist, but they also don't know or believe that some of the things they say/think can be racist."

"Approaching the conversation in a 'right vs. wrong' frame *before* a 'racist vs. not racist vs. anti-racist' discussion can help create progress with folks who are prone to defensiveness," read the caption for step number two. "And always being open to learning about racist things we may have said or done without judgement or defensiveness," Ocasio-Cortez added.

"One of the most helpful ways is just to talk and try to help teach them about why some of the things they say or think are 'wrong' and not necessarily 'racist,' but that they're wrong, and that will sort of chip away and contribute to some sort of development in this area," continued Roberts.

I can get over my whiteness. Can the bartender get over her darkness?

Now there’s a guy with lots of money and no moxie.

I’m still wondering why I can’t
pull myself up by my bootstraps??
Egads! What other lies have I been
told!
Is there no Easter bunny?!

LIAR!

If only there was a school, or schools, or camps they could sent us to to figure this out.

This woman is certifiable

[Jaysin]

And in 5-10 years she’ll be the leader of the democrat party.

[Peter ODonnell]

I’m already ahead of the program, as I took the capital W out of White people last year. Good for me!!!

But typical of the superior intelligence of white people.

Riley Roberts: “I’m banging a latina barmaid, therefore I’m an expert on race relations.”

Good work if you can get it, I guess.

I just stay away from liberals. Seems to keep the racism away.

My tip for white people to combat racism: when surrounded by racist “teens,” shoot.

[cloudmountain]

Who’s gonna help that witch with HER racism?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I think she already is. Pelosi didn’t want to go forward with impeaching Trump because she knew it would be a disaster, but AOC kept demanding it and Pelosi relented and look what happened? I bet Nancy is really really pleased with AOC now.

[Clemenza]

Everytime I get called a “Caucasian” I tell the person “do I look like a Georgian or smelly Armenian to you?”

European American if you need to categorize me

[windsorknot]

I don’t need advice from a wanker that chose AOC for a girlfriend.

[bgill]

Every picture with the two together shows her walking 3 steps behind him.

Am I wrong to want to thrash these dopes?

[txnativegop]

No, but they are not worth the prison time.
