Learning About My Own Personal Racism
I knew when I saw the headline, and the video of the first moments of George Floyd's death, it was wrong. What I didn't know, and am slowly learning, of how wrong I am.
My whiteness produces an inherit racism. As the current #BLM movement continues, I am learning about myself and the institutions that created, manipulated and curated it, and how I am a product of it and how my lack of knowledge and lack of intentional fighting against it, perpetuates it.
Here is the current list of videos, conversations, documentaries, podcasts and publications that I am working through to better create my own culture and understanding.
