People often cite "the last four years" and that is a recency bias into the conversation about race in America. George Zimmerman walked in 2012 on murder.

Thinking about the white supremacy pyramid and how the top tier includes many things we expose students (including many Black students) to in classroom curriculum/documentaries/books about race, particularly during Black History Month. - Miss Mia

I love the Taylor analogy about French as a language and racism as a language as well. I think that this takes some of the charge out of the racism discussion and makes it simple as if you are in an environment that speaks a particular language like RACISM then "of course you are racist!"

Very grateful for Toni Morrison's final answer in that clip: go buy her books! Don't demand that Black people give you free advice!

Teachers feel the weight of representing in students in a curriculum when the system itself has restricted that curriculum so much. We fight tooth and nail to serve the students we represent.

Emphasizing the fact that white supremacy was invented as a way for white people to justify the enslavement of Black human beings, It's important to note that this isn't just a topic to skim during Black history Month but is also very much a part of white history. - Miss Mia

How does a white teacher, or a minority teacher who works for a systemic racist institution reach students who are in a defense mode, and have been taught of perceived lack of morality? How do you teach when they have no hope that you will ever work in their best interests?

 The conditions of African- Americans as well as other people who have been labeled as minorities are almost seen as not being "real". They  seem to be an ideology, not real live humans.  Examples from reading, "African- Americans, in South Africa..."

Some proposed solutions to tackling implicit bias, ignorance, and subtle racism in schools includes requiring culture-based classes for incoming teachers, as well as having teachers work in more urban settings to get an idea of how to teach and understand their students. I agree with all of these proposals and feel that they are necessary to have students and faculty alike, feel accepted in a school setting. Along with these, I would propose having times in the school year where people can go over their cultural backgrounds and be able to share with their peers who may not be fully aware of different backgrounds

Those we have the most in common with are more than likely going to be those you connect with the most, because its easier. Those you don't connect with as much might begin to feel invisible. There more knowledge of our students' culture means more connection with them.

Questions about most constructive ways to learn about Philadelphia culture. Huge racial imbalance between teaching staff and student in the school. We need to be surveying the students about their favorite music, their cultural backgrounds, students are more responsive based on the teacher's

"The article centers on the idea that there are conversations that have needed to happen a long time"

-"What I experienced is what I know"

And it is absolutely necessary that we know our students' experiences if we are going to educate them. Education is an immersed experience.

The author suggests for teachers to take courses based on African-American, African Studies, Latino Studies, Asian-American Studies, and so on.

Expose teachers to make lessons more inclusive, and fight for children for equal education,  and practice and voice justice for all children.

Discussion on students use of N-word in the school hallways. They need to be aware of the connotation/history of the term. Is it appropriate or normal to use among them? As teachers, we need to be responsible and teach students the content of that term.

It can create the illusion that you know someone who you truly don't know at all. How are we doing this with our students? What assumptions do we make of our students?

Relationships need to go both ways.  We can't fully understand and respect our students if we only expect them to learn from us--we need to be prepared to learn from them and adjust ourselves.  Otherwise we can wind up perpetuating the systemic problems that harm our students.

Love talks about requiring all students especially those studying to become teachers to take African Am/African/Latinx/Carribean/Chicana/Asian and Southeast Asian studies or Cultural Studies in general. I couldn't agree more. There are many districts that don't require an African Am History course (not SDP of course). It is important that students engage this American History in their K-12 (age appropriate) schooling and especially as they begin the journey toward becoming teachers to truly understand why they love children, who they are ethnically and culturally.
