What are my reflections on whiteness?How does being in touch with my whiteness inform my perspective?White privilege is based on whiteness being invisible.We have likely not been told we have to represent our race.If you aren't already, start talking about whiteness with other white people, particularly your family.Would you rather your children learn about sex and violence from TV and kids at school?If the answer is no, isn't the same thing true about race. Wouldn't you rather shape the conversation?We start to dismantle white supremacy by having these conversations.It is better to do it imperfectly, than to not do it at all.Reading ResourcesTa-Nehisi Coates’ article, The Case for ReparationsVan Jones’ article, “Black People ‘Loot’ Food..White People ‘Find’ Food”BooksThe New Jim Crow, Michelle AlexanderCaught, Marie GottschalkBetween the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi CoatesWhite Fragility, Robin DiAngeloMe and White Supremacy, by Layla F.
