the new form of racism
What do you think of the points in these essays: Colorblind Racism and Colorblind Racism vs. Old Fashioned Racism? The books by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva from which this blogger Rachel, who is a professor of sociology, quotes sound excellent, dont' they?
This blog is meant to be a place for open discussion on the topic of what white people, including, but not limited to parents, can do to help eliminate racism and white supremacy. In my experience, I have seen a lot of denial and silence around racism in the white community. My dream is to mobilize more white people to do their part in challenging racism in our own heads, communities, and institutions.
Do I really know what it takes to be an anti-racist parent, and what's more, do I dare call myself one? At this stage, perhaps I'm more of a wannabe. My desire to get out of my head and start taking action led me to starting this blog.
My hope is that on this blog, those who feel so compelled, can join in a dialog on the role of white people in the struggle for racial justice.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you stick around for a while.
