I Don’t Want To White With You Today.

<p>To my fellow white people, some of you who I am close to might be confused by certain changes in me. The way I show up in our relationship is different, or so I have been told. Moreover, I have been informed that my recent behavior regarding race has been hurtful to you. Please understand that it is not my intention to cause you harm.</p> <p>The reason for the change is I have made a decision to actively disrupt whiteness whenever I can. By whiteness, I&rsquo;m referring to the socialization processes, power structures, advantages, narratives, and experiences that favor the white racial group over others. I am noticing how whiteness operates as a position of privilege and influences how white people perceive ourselves and the world. And, I no longer want to be part of it.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@jessicakiragu/i-dont-want-to-white-with-you-today-0b427993cf25"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
