John: We've been engaged in a global conversation about race and racism. You've probably had discussions at home, at school or at work, and in those conversations you've probably heard the term white privilege. You maybe even had this term used in a way that felt like an insult or an accusation. Others will have told you that it's all just made up to make white people feel bad... and none of this is right.

Privilege is a hard concept for people to understand, because normally when we talk of privilege we imagine immediate unearned riches and tangible benefits for anyone who has it. But white privilege and indeed all privilege is actually more about the absence of inconvenience, the absence of an impediment or challenge, and as such when you have it, you really don't notice it, but when it's absent, it affects everything you do.

There are lots of types of privilege out there, the privilege of being born into a wealthy family versus a poor family is kind of obvious, but then there's the privilege of being able-bodied versus having or acquiring a disability that most of us take for granted. I have two very close friends who are wheelchair users and I'll be honest, when I first met them I was completely ignorant about the everyday ways their lives are made harder through no fault of their own. Some of these ways are simply thoughtless, but some of them are just the way we live, just the way we build infrastructure, just the way everything works that just makes their life harder than mine. That's just one of the ways that I am privileged and understanding that, embracing that, doesn't make me a bad person, but ignoring it raises the chance that my friends will be excluded in ways that are not obvious to me and as their friend I can't allow that.

There's a good chance, as a white person watching this, your life is already hard. Every day you have to overcome some difficulty or challenge just to get by, but you can still have white privilege. White privilege doesn't mean you haven't worked hard or you don't deserve the success you've had. It doesn't mean that your life isn't hard or that you've never suffered. It simply means that your skin colour has not been the cause of your hardship or suffering.

There is nothing but a benefit to understanding our own privileges, white and otherwise. It brings us closer to those who are different. It helps us be vigilant about the ways we treat others different than us. It helps us make a society that is fairer and more equal. Having white privilege doesn't make your life easy, but understanding it can help you realise why some people's lives are harder than they should be.

Racial Equity Tools Glossary

Words and their multiple uses reflect the tremendous diversity that characterizes our society. Indeed, universally agreed upon language on issues relating to racism is nonexistent. We discovered that even the most frequently used words in any discussion on race can easily cause confusion, which leads to controversy and hostility. It is essential to achieve some degree of shared understanding, particularly when using the most common terms. In this way, the quality of dialogue and discourse on race can be enhanced.

Language can be used deliberately to engage and support community anti-racism coalitions and initiatives, or to inflame and divide them. Discussing definitions can engage and support coalitions. However, it is important for groups to decide the extent to which they must have consensus and where it is okay for people to disagree. It is also helpful to keep in mind that the words people use to discuss power, privilege, racism and oppression hold different meanings for different people. For instance, people at different stages of developing an analysis tend to attach different meanings to words like discrimination, privilege and institutional racism. Furthermore, when people are talking about privilege or racism, the words they use often come with emotions and assumptions that are not spoken.

Many of the terms in this glossary have evolved over time. For example, given the changing demographic trends in the United States, the word "minority" no longer accurately reflects the four primary racial/ethnic groups. The terms "emerging majority" and "people of color" have become popular substitutes. Also, the terms used to refer to members of each community of color have changed over time. Whether to use the terms African American or Black, Hispanic American, Latinx or Latino, Native American or American Indian, and Pacific Islander or Asian American depends on a variety of conditions, including your intended audiences' geographic location, age, generation, and, sometimes, political orientation.

Kimberlé Crenshaw: The urgency of intersectionality

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both.

Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it's an old story.

Why? Where did the notion of "whiteness" come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?

Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen took a deep dive into these questions, along with an array of leading scholars and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika, in this fourteen-part documentary series, released between February and August 2017. The series editor is Loretta Williams.

What It Really Means When You Say "All Lives Matter"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Black lives did not matter when they were inhumanely transported like livestock from Africa. Black lives did not matter when they were lynched by the hundreds at the hands of the KKK. Black lives did not matter when they were attacked by dogs as they protested for equal rights.

With the weekly news cycle seeming to, without fail, include the death of at least one black boy at the hands of the police, or the body of a black woman being thrown to the ground by local law enforcement, or a black child being manhandled by the services meant to protect them, my heart sinks as I cling to the desire that black lives will matter.

When Nancy Pelosi, as part of MSNBC's town hall last year, was asked by student Shelly Ward if she supported the Black Lives Matter movement, Pelosi's response was an all too familiar " Well, I believe that all lives matter". Her statement was to the very obvious disappointment of the young black woman who asked the question, and to the disappointment of an exhausted black community.

This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

As someone who is constantly bombarded with the howling of "but all lives matter"-and the heated conversations that inevitably follow-let me explain. Black Lives Matter is not a term of confrontation or an exclusionary demand. As Columbia Law Professor Kimberle Crenshaw explains, saying black lives matter "is simply aspirational;" it's a rallying cry for a shift in statistical numbers that show that people who are black are twice as likely to be killed by a police officer while unarmed, compared to a white individual. According to a 2015 study, African-Americans died at the hands of police at a rate of 7.2 per million, while whites were killed at a rate of 2.9 per million.

Anyone who has kept any type of pulse on civil rights and the black human condition in the United States since the transatlantic slave trade would understand the need to emphasize the protection of black bodies. The people who have had the luxury of ignoring this particular issue is the white community, which has had the privilege of not questioning-on a large scale-whether the systems they live in are detrimental to their livelihoods, based on their skin color.

But as the Black Lives Matter movement emerged, they were all of a sudden jolted into an awareness of the intersection of race and surviving police encounters. Instead of exploring the reasons why a movement like this would even be necessary, many have a knee jerk reaction. "What about me?" "All lives matter," they cry. "Why be divisive and unfair, what about our safety?" The point these people miss is that the majority of experiences here in America already tend to center and highlight whiteness and cater to its safety. The country was built to function that way. Its roots of white supremacy and the marginalized concern for people of color has remained.

Today, looking at the gross brutality and murders of black American citizens like Oscar Grant, Michelle Cusseaux, Samuel Dubose, and Jordan Edwards, we are still aspiring to convince you that black lives matter.

But let's get back to the issue of countering Black Lives Matter with the phrase "All Lives Matter." I've come to describe this as a collective gaslighting from the white community. Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power (or in this case, keep their own peace), makes a victim question their reality. Why do those who counter black lives matter act as though black people aren't aware of the glaring disproportionate statistics of police brutality, of health care racism, and of mass incarceration? This is our reality. You deciding to ignore it for your own comfort doesn't make it any less true.

If a patient being rushed to the ER after an accident were to point to their mangled leg and say, "This is what matters right now," and the doctor saw the scrapes and bruises of other areas and countered, "but all of you matters," wouldn't there be a question as to why he doesn't show urgency in aiding that what is most at risk? At a community fundraiser for a decaying local library, you would never see a mob of people from the next city over show up angry and offended yelling, "All libraries matter!"-especially when theirs is already well-funded.

This is because there is a fundamental understanding that when the parts of society with the most pain and lack of protection are cared for, the whole system benefits. For some reason, the community of white America would rather adjust the blinders they've set against racism, instead of confront it, so that the country can move forward toward a true nation of justice for all.

"Stating 'black lives matter' doesn't insinuate that other lives don't."

Let me be clear: our stating that black lives matter doesn't insinuate that other lives don't. Of course all lives matter. That doesn't even need to be said. But the fact that white people get so upset about the term black lives matter is proof that nothing can center the wellbeing and livelihoods of black bodies without white people assuming it is to their demise.

My personal message to those committed to saying "all lives matter" in the midst of the justice-driven work of the Black Lives Matter movement: prove it. Point out the ways our society-particularly the systems set in place to protect citizens like police officers and doctors and elected officials-are showing up to serve and protect black lives. Illuminate the instances in which the livelihood of the black community was prioritized, considering the circumstances that put us into less-privileged spaces to begin with. Direct me to the evidence of justice for the bodies discarded at the hands of those in power, be it by unjustified murder, , poisoned water, or medical discrimination.

These are the things that must be rectified for us to be able to exhale. Until then, I'll be here, my black fist raised with Black Lives Matter on my lips.

BLACK VOICES

Want to end police brutality against Black people? To paraphrase Angela Davis, it's not enough to *not* be racist - you need to be antiracist.

Let's face it: We've become depressingly rote in our response to police violence against the Black community. We say how outraged we are on Instagram. We share a link on Facebook and declare that #BlackLivesMatter in the status. Wash, rinse, repeat.

There's not much value in deriding "slacktivists" or debating what true allyship means. There's no denying that posting is important. Bringing awareness to issues your friends and families may be closed off to and sharing antiracist organizations to donate to is very necessary.

But if we're going to share the burden of this fight and change the status quo, we can't stop there.

Below, Black community activists and their allies share how to turn your empathy into action in the wake of police brutality.

Don't think you need to be the perfect ally to speak up.

Oftentimes, the desire to be a "perfect" ally stops people from speaking up and taking action. Sometimes, we say nothing at all, not wanting to rock the boat or be judged as "too political" on social media. This silence is part of white supremacy culture. (For what it's worth, speaking up against human rights violations is about as low-risk as you can get if you're worried about appearing "political.")

Don't let concerns like this prevent you from showing up. Now more than ever is the time to take action to support Black, Indigenous and other people of color ― even if you've been slow to get involved in the past.

"There's no such thing as a perfect ally," said Fizz Perkal, an organizer with the Albuquerque chapter of Showing Up For Justice. "When it comes to challenging police violence ... the goal is to listen to Black folks, follow their lead, and be accountable for how our behavior impacts them."

Start by observing what Black organizations are doing, and take your cues from them.

"Be accountable to them and know how to best support their organizing," Perkal said. (The group Perkal is involved with, Showing Up For Justice, is a perfect example of that: They're a nonprofit that works to bring more white communities and people into multiracial, antiracist movements for justice.)

"Supporting them may mean showing up at the Black Lives Matter protest or it may be staying on the edges to put a physical barrier in between Black protesters and the police," Perkal said.

If you see an act of police brutality happening, speak up and safely make your presence known.

Ask yourself uncomfortable hypotheticals: What would you have done if you'd been walking in Staten Island and had seen a police officer put Eric Garner in a chokehold? What would you have done if you'd seen an officer ram his knee into George Floyd's neck? Would you have nervously walked or driven by, or would you have spoken up for the person being oppressed?

"People have to step off the sideline if they see an injustice," said activist and writer Frederick Joseph. "For example, if someone is being stopped by the police, you have the right to let the police know that you are going to be monitoring the situation and making sure that the person is being treated fairly and safely."

"You staying there and holding the police accountable may be the difference between life and death," he added.

Educate yourself without placing the burden on Black people to be your teachers.

As with any civil rights movement, don't expect the oppressed party to do all the work in educating you on why the system is broken and what you can do to change it.

Google is your friend. Give your Black friend a break. Instead of saying, "OK, well, what should we do then?" when they tell you how disheartened they feel after another incident, search for the answers on your own. Read the books, listen to the podcasts and TED talks, follow activists on Twitter. When Black creators have put out so many resources already, there's no need to put the onus on the Black people in your life to educate you.

Lean into your courage and push aside your caution, because no one benefits when allies are cautious.Minda Harts, author

"I think it's unfair to expect African Americans to be the teacher and give allies the homework," said Minda Harts, author of " The Memo: What Women of Color Need To Know To Secure A Seat At The Table."

"If certain groups want to learn, start learning. And once we see some foundational steps have been taken, personally, I love to engage. But I can't do all the work; meet us in the middle. If you want to learn how to be an antiracist, start with the resources available to you."

If you're white or benefit from white privilege, check out this list of anti-racism resources for white people that's been floating around social media.

Engage with racist people you know. And engage with your silent non-Black friends, too.

It's not enough to "mute" your uncle on Facebook when he posts something racist. Call him out. And while you're at it, call out your progressive friends who love Black culture but remain strangely quiet when crimes are committed against Black people.

Ask them why. Remind them of our shared humanity. Challenge them to untangle racist narratives. Tag them into this fight. For starters, you might show them this video featuring anti-racist educator Jane Elliott. In the clip, Elliott asks an audience of mostly white people a very, very simple question: Would you want to be treated like a Black person in America? (No one in the room stands when asked.)

"That says very plainly that you know what's happening," Elliott says. "You know you don't want it for you. I want to know why you are so willing to accept it or to allow it to happen for others."

Call the district attorney's office and other local government officials. Then show up at town hall and city council meetings.

There are things you can do in the immediate aftermath of police brutality, like signing petitions or calling or texting to put pressure on local district attorneys to bring justice to officers involved in police violence.

Once the news cycle dies down, though, don't stop. Write op-eds. Share links. Take your discontent and concerns to city council meetings and town halls when a story isn't in the news, Harts suggested.

"Then you can show up at the police precinct and let the chief of police know you are outraged by the treatment of Black people," she said. "I would love to see allyship shifted into action. I can no longer take performative allyship; lean into your courage and push aside your caution, because no one benefits when allies are cautious."

Pay close attention to how your local police department functions.

Demand police accountability. Does your local force wear body cameras? Are they engaging in police de-escalation trainings? Demand a police force that's worthy of the community's trust.

If corruption and police violence are rampant in your community, speak up when you see a bloated budget for the police department that could be redistributed toward programs that build stronger, safer, healthier communities.

As The Appeal has reported, this type of disinvest-reinvest approach is gaining ground in cities across the U.S. among youth and grassroots organizers. Los Angeles-based Youth Justice Coalition created the " LA for Youth " campaign in 2012 to demand that city officials redirect $100 million (about 1% of the law enforcement budget) to youth programs.

Vote with your conscience, too. If your DA is doing nothing, vote them out of office.

"White people should also vote for elected officials who commit to this vision that values people over policing," said Charlene A. Carruthers, a writer and organizer. "Discomfort, unlearning, giving of your time and money are critical for all white people who want to show up."

Take the fight to your workplace.

Another thing you can do when the headlines die down? If you benefit from white privilege, use it to speak up in support of Black people in the workplace. If you see qualified people of color being passed over for higher-status jobs, bring it up with HR or leadership.

"Question authority and hold people and systems accountable to create more equal and equitable work environments," Joseph said. "For example, asking leadership at your job why there aren't more Black people, or why they aren't in leadership roles."

Offer solutions, too. If there are too few Black people in your workforce, encourage your managers to reach out to prospective candidates at historically Black colleges and universities.

Do more listening than talking. And when your Black friends give you constructive feedback, welcome it.

Again, you're not going to be the perfect ally. You might misspeak. You might talk over marginalized voices or attempt to tell stories that do not belong to you when you really should be passing the mic. You might stay silent when your support is pivotal. If a Black person gives you critical feedback on anything like this, see it as a positive, not a penalty, Perkal said.

"If someone, especially a Black, Indigenous, or person of color, tells you how you harmed or impacted them, it's a gift," Perkal said. "It's a chance to reflect on how ... we carry white supremacy in our bodies and actions, and do better next time. Be accountable for the ways in which you, consciously or not, bring white supremacy into organizing spaces. Build your resilience so you can get the most out of critical feedback."

The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it's the only way forward. https://t.co/DL3c2vIXcB

Don't think you're off the hook because you're also a minority.

The fact that one of the other police officers that stood by as Derek Chauvin pressed his knee down on George Floyd's neck was Asian has sparked a heated debate in the Asian American community.

The questions being posed on Twitter and elsewhere are relevant to all minority communities: Do you speak up when someone in your community expresses anti-Black sentiment? Do you compete in the " oppression Olympics "? (Yes, the bigotry many minority groups face is unacceptable, but no group in America faces the same multifaceted discrimination as the Black community.) How do you benefit from your proximity to whiteness?

This isn't just a "dear white people" problem: It's equally important for Asians, Latinos, Native Americans and others to speak up against the outsized racism Black Americans experience, said Michelle Kim, the CEO at Awaken, a company that offers diversity and inclusion workshops in the workplace. (Kim also wrote a really great Medium piece on ways Asian Americans can step up for their Black peers.)

"In our quest to survive, some of us may have been striving to become white-adjacent - as successful as white people, as fitting in and assimilated as white people, as deserving as white people of dignity and respect - and along the journey, consciously or subconsciously, have adopted the language and beliefs of white supremacy and anti-Blackness," she said.

if ur asian and u say u "don't claim" that asian cop u better take that shit back. you WILL claim him. you will recognize that the asian community has rampant racism in it as well. distancing yourself from that cop does nothing to help, you're just putting yourself into a hugbox

Donate to anti-white supremacy work, such as your local Black Lives Matter chapter.

Put your money where your mouth is by donating to antiracist groups like the NAACP, Southern Poverty Law Center, Color of Change, The Sentencing Project the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls.

Check your own behaviors of policing Black people in your daily life.

Recognize your own implicit biases. As "Top Chef's" Padma Lakshmi said, "Racism is a spectrum, with varying degrees of unconscious and learned behaviors reinforced by society every day. It's not: either you're racist or you're not. It's to what degree are you prejudiced, against whom, and why?"

If being antiracist is an ongoing project, your first assignment is to interrogate your own behaviors and belief system. Every one of us needs to reflect on how we may be policing Black people in our daily lives, Kim said.

"Studies have shown Black people are over-scrutinized in the workplace, over-surveilled in stores, punished disproportionately harshly and frequently in schools, and not believed when they bring up harm they experience (as opposed to white women being believed for false accusations)," she added.

"Before we make any progress, we need to recognize that we are complicit in the policing of Black people in our society," she said. "We need to check our own behaviors first."

The likelihood that your Black colleague lost a family member to COVID-19 is painfully high. The chances that your Black colleague was triggered by the viral video of Amy Cooper because a white woman used her race and privilege and weaponized it against him is incredibly likely. The possibility that your Black colleague is afraid to go for a run, or terrified when her husband leaves the house, or just simply enraged by the incessant lies this country keeps telling us about equal liberties is so high you'll need a ladder to get it down.
