I am Racist by Holli Wallace https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks Time for Reflection en-us 2020-09-09 19:32:18 UTC 2020-11-16 20:04:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844916981 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.]]> 2020-10-20 14:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844916981 He spoke my viewpoint, my truth, my hope. https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844920405 2020-10-20 14:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844920405 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 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844929560 2020-10-20 14:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844929560 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. https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844938952 2020-10-20 14:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844938952 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844943392 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.]]> 2020-10-20 14:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844943392 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. https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844947558 2020-10-20 14:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844947558 How to be a better part of the progress, the learning, the doing https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844959852 2020-10-20 14:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/844959852 aeperrone97 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/846257139 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.]]> 2020-10-20 18:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/846257139 aeperrone97 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/846262976 "If I am a fish, I live in water.

I work to not be a racist so hard but still fall short at times in the perspective of others. ambra_wilson https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864273408 2020-10-27 03:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864273408 comparison to Covid was a great analogy for me, especially the asymptomatic and need for life disruption to bring change. ambra_wilson https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864275376 2020-10-27 03:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864275376 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? ambra_wilson https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864276900 2020-10-27 03:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/864276900 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. alexandrafalla1 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/874080137 2020-10-29 17:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/874080137 alexandrafalla1 https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/874140811 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.]]> 2020-10-29 17:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/874140811 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. januzzip https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/922753315 2020-11-14 14:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/922753315 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. januzzip https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/922759029 2020-11-14 14:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/922759029 What are my contributions? rosemarydeane https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929025229 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?  ]]> 2020-11-16 19:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929025229 My White Privilege rosemarydeane https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929047839 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?]]> 2020-11-16 19:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929047839 COVID Example rosemarydeane https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929071928 I also think the Covid example was helpful & may help others to make that connection. ]]> 2020-11-16 20:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/holliwallace/Bookmarks/wish/929071928
