There’s no such thing as RACE! Shout it from the rooftops! 🤓

@MES1,
Why?

like

Scientifically, sure, but when you live in a country that continues it's legacy of white supremacism, with easily half the population blind to this fact, race is very, very real.

Agreed @CHS1, it is important NOT to erase race but to clarify how politics has made skin tone an issue. Then, we can begin to dismantle racism.

Race is social construct but unfortunately our students feel the pain of having darker skin everyday. We can acknowledge their feelings and stories because no matter what, the white skin will always have power over the dark skin.

@MichiganES1, Why are supporting a supremacist narrative?

This is why it's silly to select "inclusive" literature and represent authors purely because of their skin color and discount other authors simply because they are "old dead white guys". Every human has experienced pain and joy, select authors that write well regardless of their skin color. Saying your students "cant relate" to another human because of their race or culture is promoting racism. I can relate to any human because I have shared in this thing called life and all its confusion and emotion.

@HSET1, 1) that’s not what you said, but nice attempt at clean up, 2) to automatically devalue something because there’s less of it is ridiculous; scarcity always increases value.

I’m not going to attempt to share with you all of the great literature created by people of color. Just remember, your lack of knowledge doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Educate yourself so that your classroom includes and values voices of all cultures.

To the Antiracist Educators, when we have trolls who do not understand what being an Antiracist means, would you like me to allow them to post even though they are clearly posting here with no positive intent?

I could block them. They can easily go post somewhere else.

What do you think we should do?

I’ll leave this question up for one week.

Allyship
I recently failed in an opportunity to show allyship. During a meeting, the presenter called an attendee the English version of the attendee’s (ethnic) name.

I noticed it right away, and thought about it but failed to correct them. The person whose name was colonized was very hurt and expressed it.

Next time, I won’t hesitate. I’ll be ready next time.

Have you had any similar experiences?

There could be only one reason for that: they were losers. They were dimwitted, unambitious, complacent, unimaginative, and risk-averse. They were middle class.”
