At the expense of my family, students and myself, I normalized white supremacy by simply not knowing my own identity and how I fit in the world. I looked at my privileges as the standard and was so hard on any POC that didnt do what I did, not realizing the individual struggles of POC.

As a white woman, white supremacy has shaped how I've moved through life -- where I grew up, what schools I've attended, my ability to easily attend a private university out of state, my career choice, and me living in the community I do without being over-policed in the ways my neighbors are. I could do infinitely more to leverage my white privilege and be a co-conspirator against white supremacy in my work place, community, and with white family and friends, and sometimes avoid conflict rather than actively being an ally (and do harm).

As a black man I feel like I have spent most of my life figuring out what whiteness is and how to navigate in white spaces.  I am much more interested now in truly figuring out all of the richness around what blackness is and sharing that with my students.

As a white woman, I see myself embodying a LOT of those 15 characteristics of white supremacy. I can now see that I also value those in others, whereas I should take a step back and realize that those are rooted in WS. I hope to do better with in-the-moment interactions and push myself to continue to grow and learn as a co-conspirator.

White supremacy is in the air we breath around us.  I think a lot about how to better recognize acts of white supremacy in the moment  instead of only in hind-sight.  I need to be a better co-conspirator in those moments

WM - For me, I see it most intensely in my need and comfort with having control and influence (when I want it). The world has been so "normalized" to benefit me, that the moment I stop "checking myself," I revert to very problematic socialized behaviors, assumptions, etc.

I see a lot of the "white supremacy" aspects around urgency and either/or thinking come up in my life. I am in a place where I am more aware when these bottle up. I also think while my awareness has improved, I need to do a better job of speaking up when these or other racist experiences come up.

# data[].attributes.body
I could speak about the white supremacy I've seen throughout my whole life, but more recently, I've just noticed how STILL my white friends can just remove themselves from speaking/thinking about race. The companies they work for aren't bringing it up in a meaningful way and they don't feel a push to better themselves, so any conversations around race just continue to be pushed under the rug.

As a white woman, I have been reflecting a lot about how white supremacy values show up in my work and my personal life. I often give a lot of value to how much I produce and how quickly I do it. Everything has a sense of urgency. I am really trying to rethink the values I have internalized, so that I don't continue to live this way and pass them on to my daughter. I also do not want to continue to create harm to the POC in my life whom I love deeply. I also am aware how deeply I have internalized beliefs about POC, especially black males. I see this showing up in terms of how I might view someone I cross paths with in my neighborhood.

There have been many times in my life where I didn't speak up. Only in the last few years have I started to, but it's something I'm still working on.

As several others have mentioned, the reality is that it is everywhere. It is so thoroughly engrained that it can be hard to detect and I know I still have many blindspots. I see it in my childhood experience--both the comfort in which I grew up, and in my school and learning opportunities. I hear it in conversations with friends and family, and I see it in the behavior of friends particularly during this pandemic and the sense of entitlement.

I see a lot of 'either/or thinking' and 'only one right way' in my personal life. I think it has pushed people who fall on different sides of the same coin further away from one another and I am exhausted because I can see it happening, so I have been trying to bring those people back towards one another.

One takeaway from the PD for white people is "no crying". I really think this needs to be said out loud more often. When white people cry in these conversations we put the burden on the audience to "take care" of us. It is okay to feel sad or hopeless about racism, but crying makes the conversation about us and our emotions which is not okay.

White supremacy was my entire upbringing and family life. It took way longer than I would like to admit to realize this and begin the work. It is especially difficult because so much of my childhood is wrapped up in trauma, so this work for me is nuanced, difficult and layered. I like to pretend that where I came from doesn't exist because of that trauma, but I know its part of the layers in unpacking and defying white supremacy as well.

As a white woman, I want to be  more conscious about how I show up in spaces (in my community, with my extended family with my in-laws, in school with students and with my colleagues). I want to continously reflect on the impact of my privledge and be more concious about those dynamics.
I also want to make sure that I am seeking more feedback at school, so I am dismantling power dynamics that exist in my relationships with teachers (especially teachers of color)
