N2 - In this article, we respond to observations offered by Sue, Cross and Reinhardt, and Helms regarding the Major Contribution on White racial justice allyship. We focus on three interrelated themes that emerged across the reactants' comments: (a) the field has made some progress since the early 1990s, but much more is needed, (b) White allies are few and far between, and (c) there is a moral imperative for the field to disrupt current training models that reinforce color-blind racial ideology. We conclude with some preliminary ideas on possible ways forward.
