#StopRacism
Tuesdays at 8 pm Eastern Time/5 pm Pacific
This group—#StopRacism—will identify some of the ways in which racism manifests itself in our institutions and our communities, and how this is reinforced, both economically and culturally. We’ll then talk about how to remove that reinforcement and support, in order to make racism, in a word, “unprofitable.”
You will meet other people who care about racism, and learn together a common language. You’ll hear stories and history. You’ll form a community of activists that can create change. And you’ll learn how to mobilize other activists and become a leader in the conversation yourself.
Tuesday, September 11, 2018: “When the system fights back: How institutional racism responds to pioneers like Serena & Obama.”
Forget what you learned in school — there’s no such thing as “mission accomplished” when fighting racism and bigotry. Whether it’s America’s first black president or a black female athlete for the ages, institutional racism evolves with its responses. We’ve seen Trump. Now we’re seeing Serena Williams getting unfairly judged and regulated for her clothing. Lessons learned can become lessons unlearned. The greatest joke is that racists will blame Obama for creating Trump and Williams for how she’s treated.
Forbes. The best place to for mansplaining.
