“You have to get over the fear of facing the worst in yourself. You should instead fear unexamined racism. Fear the thought that right now, you could be contributing to the oppression of others and you don't know it. But do not fear those who bring that oppression to light. Do not fear the opportunity to do better.” Social JusticeWhite SupremacyRacism In AmericaRacism QuotesWhite PrivilegeRacial JusticeWhite People Book:So You Want to Talk About Race Source: So You Want to Talk About Race
“Act now, because people are dying now in this unjust system. How many lives have been ground up by racial prejudice and hate? How many opportunities have we already lost? Act and talk and learn and fuck up and learn some more and act again and do better. We have to do this all at once. We have to learn and fight at the same time. Because people have been waiting far too long for their chance to live as equals in this society.” RacismWhite SupremacyRacism In AmericaWhite PrivilegeRacial JusticeWhite PeopleCall To Action Book:So You Want to Talk About Race Source: So You Want to Talk About Race
“Trump and others on the right want to make sure that working-class white men don’t want to go to college and distrust those who do, and conservative educators want to make sure that people from marginalized communities don’t want to go either. All of this works by design. It is to ensure that enough of us keep our heads down, focus on surviving our nine-to-five jobs, don’t ask questions, and don’t demand more from a system that owes us a lot. The death of American higher education will harm the most vulnerable of us first, but its goal is not to harm or oppress only us—that work is fully implanted in all our systems. Its goal is to continue to oppress and exploit white supremacy’s most powerful tool: the angry white working-class man.” CollegeApathyWhite SupremacyAlienationHigher EducationAngry White Males Book:Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America Source: Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America
