Every Tuesday evening our #StopRacism group looks at racism through news and world events. This LIVE call with The Good Men Project community has been happening for years and is life-changing for the participants. This is the recording of the call from Tuesday, July 13, 2021.
Tonight we started by talking about ESPN and Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor. The Cliff Notes version is: “White woman complains that experienced, Black woman got the job because of “diversity”. Recording leaks. Company punishes Black woman. ”
- How does this intersect with sexism?
- How rampant is racism in sports?
- How do we fight racism on a day-to-day basis when it is so ingrained in our culture?
- “What is our collective responsibility to stop racism? You can do something, but how do we operationalize that in our daily lives. as viewers as consumers of media. Do we write, do we not buy tickets? What do we do? What do we do as an everyday, ordinary citizen?”
- What did they do in the Civil Rights movement?
- How can we get reparations to work?
What if every institution that has had systemic racism in the past should figure out an actual, valuable way to make up for the harm that racism has caused? For instance, housing reparations because black people had been shut out of housing. Educational harm has been caused by racism so that should be addressed with racism. And generational wealth — without a doubt racism has caused harm to that. So without a doubt that should be fixed.
Some other topics we covered were:
- Voter id laws
- Corporations taking a stand
- “White men are being replaced.”
- Code for racism—and white supremacy at its core.
- Discussion of antidotes for ‘white men are under siege’.
- We tackle the difficult topics, because we want to figure out a way to create a more inclusive culture and a better world for everyone.
And more, every week!
We’d love to have you join us for the next one. Talk to you soon!
