💛 “Why Organizations Fail at DEI”

It takes more than simply hiring someone to address issues within an organization. It takes a top-down commitment to be part of that change. –Lecia Michelle

💛 “Michael Che, the Enlightenment, and Whiteness”

To ask “what was here before whiteness” is to open the more dangerous question: what had to be eliminated, for this way of organizing reality to appear natural.

💛 From the @TheDailyEdge article “Talking to White People About Racism”

Not so long ago, if parents disagreed with a specific lesson, they had the option to keep their child home from school that day. They still have that right. They should exercise it.

💛 “The Race Massacres They Never Taught Us About in School”
We all say we want our children to have the very best education, but is it really in their best interests to not tell them what we have done wrong, to not show them America’s feet of clay?

Research concludes that the distrust many white people have for their neighbors is a result of their own discomfort with living among diverse racial groups.

💛 “What’s Wrong with White Feminism?”

The fight for gender equality has undergone several iterations over the centuries. Yet some aspects need to evolve if we ever hope to achieve success. More than that, we need to re-think what we call success if our goal is truly equality. We need to answer equality for whom and why.

💛 “Why Black History Month 2024 is the Most Important Ever”

Black History is under attack, including attacks on Affirmative Action; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), continued voter suppression, and new laws designed to make voting harder for young people and minorities. This is in part to erase the history that created the need to address various wrongs.

“Anti-Racism 101: Own Your Racism”

Point out sexist or homophobic behaviour, say, and they’ll try to laugh it off. But racism? They’re outraged. Most of us will declare we’re anti-racist, but few of us are genuinely, actively anti-racist.
