White Folks Facing Race: Freezing, Silence, and Shame
<p>Happy Fall! I hope your school years have started well (for those of you caring for school-aged children) and that things are settling into a new routine.</p>
<p>I have been reading a lot and remembering some experiences and wrestling with the fact that there have been several times when a White person has acted in a racist way towards a Black person and I have been silent/frozen in the moment. I have not been walking the walk of my anti-racist talk. In response, I have been educating myself about <a href="https://afsc.org/bystander-intervention-toolkit" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">bystander interventions</a> and other strategies I can use to show up differently in public.</p>
