I also think the Covid example was helpful & may help others to make that connection.

How am I still taking advantage of my White Privilege and how does that impact the BIPOC community, as well as maintain racism as status quo?

How am I moving this work forward? To be honest, I do not feel that I am doing much. How do I engage with those who are ignorant to how deeply racism permeates society?

I realized how angry I am about the continued talking about being racist and not doing anything about it besides talking, that is happening in our country, and especially here in NC. His talking made me uncomfortable as a white person, but mostly because I felt like it was shallow. I will do a little research about him to see if that changes my mind, but that is my first reaction.

When will people stop just talking about this, validating themselves, saying all the "right things and buzzwords", reading all the "right books" and telling people they read them...and just start being about it? I realize everyone is at different levels of understanding and have different life experiences, but this is not a new topic. I am tired of listening to people only talk about it and not seeing changes that need to happen. Sorry. Just being honest.

It is ok to protest and to talk but the illness is still there... how can we change it by creating an impact on others.

The comparison to Covid moved me... sometimes we are able to be "asymptomatic" in our lives because we are not part or not touched by things happening around us....but we always talk abut how the world needs to change.

How do I not get offended when I am constantly feeling as though what I say, don't say, do and don't do are being evaluated based on my whiteness?

comparison to Covid was a great analogy for me, especially the asymptomatic and need for life disruption to bring change.

I can definitely relate to the negative connotation to being called a racist.  I work to not be a racist so hard but still fall short at times in the perspective of others.

Racism isn't a binary- it's not you "are" or you "aren't". We need to be more comfortable using that word to describe systems, policies, procedures, actions, thoughts, and intentions (conscious or subconscious)- not just people.

We have to admit we are racist.  We built the system, we enjoyed the privilege, and now it has to change.  We have to change.

I need to read more about ways our country has developed structures, laws, and norms that are racist. For example, the GI Bill after WWII. I feel that knowing more will help give me more examples in discussions with others to demonstrate racial injustices done in our current system.

What next, what do I still not see.  Perhaps I'm still too caught up in "closure" instead of being swept up in the process.

I was moved by the comparison to Covid - it brought a new clarity.  The comparison between radiation treatments for cancer and the work that lies ahead was also motivating

I liked the comparison between Covid 19 and racism. Although we may not know we are spreading racism we are by perpetuating the societal norms we currently live within. I feel we need to be able to recognize systematic racism in order to stop the cycle and be willing to discuss it openly with others.
