    This is the reasoning of a segregationist. "Racism is natural". A solid book on racist ideas coming AFTER political and economic exploitation is "Stamped From the Beginning" by Kendi.

    The simple fact is that the concept of 'systemic racism' is predicated on [is a form of] basic racism, which itself is a form of prejudice. Racism must first be interpersonal for it to accumulate to the level of being systemic. You can't have a system of zero units.

    I ❤️ the Parkland students. LOVE them. I ❤️ young ppl in Ferguson who faced tanks & tear gas to educate us all. LOVE them. Loving both while constantly pointing out privilege is NOT to divide. It’s to unite for next Mike Brown near your town.

    Guys. I got stopped in the hallway at work by a white woman complimenting my (Lakota-made) earrings and she said every possible offensive thing about Native people possible. It was like I was living in a satire.

    is great example why more white men should use privilege to fight white supremacy. Cops/Security are far more likely to stand down. White men put these statues up. White men should take them down. Let’s make this spread across colleges.

    Took plantation tour once. Shocked. Total romanticization of old south. They didn’t take 95% white group to slave quarters. Spoke out. Few agreed MANY white ppl still believe slavery was benevolent & 68% white AL voters chose Roy Moore who agrees. Fixing this is

    Silver lining on Kanye comments is many good journalists & teachers flipped it into a teachable moment on slavery. Some white kids learned more about slavery this week than anything from their school history books.

    It is never too late to fight4justice. Stop yelling at your TV screen - it’s an inanimate object. Be the first in your inner circle to hit the streets. Move from words2action. Let your friends know. Ask them if they want to join you. Lead them.

    In my upbringing, Christian-ness, God, family, country, politics, gender and race, authority-following, and classism got all mixed up. To question any one of them was to question (threaten?) ALL of them.

    Institutional racism.

    This is a thread about how institutional racism works. In the 1950’s SUNY schools & community colleges offered FREE tuition to local students. My mother-in-law, who is white, took advantage of this program and received her degree from SUNY Buffalo in Speech Therapy.

    Why do white folks get involved with anti racism work but lack the ability to see that they are bringing toxic whiteness with them? Why do you lack self awareness? Why are you committed to not changing? Why can't you change? Things I might write in a work email today.

    Dear white people, I genuinely love you. I have family who are white. My roommate is white. Young adults I’ve mentored are white. Hell, my ex husband is white. But please, please enter into spaces that are not your spaces with curiosity and listening ears and hearts.
