Race questions and key learnings by Joy Howard https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn Based on what we have read and discussed so far, please state at least one thing you've learned and one question you still have about race at this point. en-us 2018-08-15 20:58:18 UTC 2026-01-15 16:17:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Krystalyn Botzum https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/275753478 2018-08-28 03:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/275753478 Aivie Ishikawa https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/276422411

Race Questions: 
· In what ways did a dominantly white culture impact your school and classroom when you were student? 
· How can we view race as resource in our profession? 
·What happens when people have different definition of equity? (Does it have positive or negative impact?)

1.How can I, as a white person, become a better partner to African Americans and other races to end racism?

2. Is racism as prominent in other countries, developed or underdeveloped, as it seems to be in America? 

3. What is the viewpoint on racism in America from other similar counties?



One thing I have learned at this point:
  The topic that stands out to me the most is the discuss and realization of color-blindness in society.  Colorblindness isn’t an option because it truly doesn’t fix racism. Originally, I (innocently) thought color-blindness seemed like the key to an ideal society.  It is a way to divide society and cultures even further from one another.   

  •   “I don’t see color; I just see people” carries with it one huge implication: It implies that color is a problem, arguably synonymous with “I can see who you are despite your race.”

  • “Colorblindness is far more of a threat to racial justice than White Supremacists (who seem to be quite color conscious). After all, if you can’t discuss a problem, how can you ever solve it?”

  • “As Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun famously wrote, “To overcome racism, one must first take race into account.”

The three previous quotes were exerted from the following source.

2. When could we reach the point that we sincerely accept different races and see it normal?
3. Is it enough to just teach students about race or we have to raise the whole world's awareness?
4. Is there programs or lectures that raise race awareness? or people are still afraid to talk about this topic in public?
5. Is having cultural diversity at schools enough to solve race problems?

Do I have the ability to teach a truly enriching history on races other than my own when I have always attended a predominantly white school?
2. Will students of color find it offensive for me to teach their history when I haven’t lived it?]]> 2018-09-11 14:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/279901085 Revised - Aivie Ishikawa https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/282012673 Question list

How can we make the safe environment for all the different backgrounds in our classroom, because some are quieter and others are louder, and still meet with all the learning styles?]]> 2018-09-17 22:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/joy_howard/gxsvkkvkviyn/wish/282633390
