Because these ideas have been maintained over a long period of time, its is sometimes hard for people to notice that this culture is based in whiteness. What are the characteristics of white supremacy culture - and what do we do once we've recognized this?

Depolarizing Conversations About Race and Public Policy

Note: This event is to be attended in person. Depolarizing Conversations About Race is a skills workshop for difficult but necessary conversations between White Americans about race and public policy. It seeks to improve the culture of conversations about race and provide a constructive alternative to the polarized and judgmental exchanges that dominate our current discourse. Created by a diverse group of Braver Angels leaders, this workshop helps White participants develop more skills for listening to others and expressing their own views on race in ways that lead to more productive conversations across differences. While this workshop is primarily intended for White audiences, Americans of all races are welcome to participate. Workshop is approximately 3 hours, food will be provided.  Sign up for this workshop on here.  The Need Conversations between White people about race are often dysfunctional and judgmental, descending into “Just listen to me explain racism to you” and “Don’t call me a racist!” The vast majority of White people are firmly against racism as they define it, but they battle over what it means—for example, systemic versus personal—and about whether racism is mostly an evil of the past versus an ongoing scourge. They split over framing our country’s […]
