G Period -- comfort / discomfort check-in by Betsy Durning https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk en-us 2020-11-09 18:44:50 UTC 2020-11-09 19:48:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905869667 I feel uncomfortable only because I have had so few opportunities to explore race. The lack of communication on this topic disables us to fully understand. ]]> 2020-11-09 19:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905869667 Thank god this is anonymous serenathompson1 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870625 2020-11-09 19:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870625 jasonboue https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870755 i feel uncomfortable, but i think that is a good thing. it takes discomfort to be aware about an issue, and issues involving race are probably ones that i focus on the least because of these uncomfortable feelings. i am excited to open my mind to these issues in an effort to become more compassionate and empathetic]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870755 sarahsnoots https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870756 i feel somewhat uncomfortable due to the climate that we are currently living in. however, i feel ready to push myself to learn more about race theory. additionally, i will never truly understand the experience of someone living as an African American, so truly understanding race theory seems kind of untangible]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870756 harrison_consol https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870823 I feel uncomfortable talking about this theory, which is why I know I need to talk and learn about it more than any other]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905870823 natevutpakdi https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871222 yes, this topic makes me uncomfortable, but I need to be uncomfortable to learn. I don't want to be comfortable and ignorant. That just makes me a worse person.

I trust everyone in this class. Even though these topics may seem intimidating and fragile, I think it is crucial to talk about them. And for people that may feel uncomfortable by it, discussing and understanding it is the only way to become educated and comfortable. A lot of ignorance in our society stems from people being too afraid to talk about and address stuff. ]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871464 Race sometimes feels uncomfortable because I feel I do not know enough to speak on it, and there's this fear of offending someone. But race is something that needs to be acceptable to talk about. maddieharrell1 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871547 2020-11-09 19:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871547 I think that it is hard to talk about something that is such a dark moment in our country's history, but it especially hard to talk about it because it went on for so long. The cultural fabric of our country will forever be impacted by slavery, and so I think that the least we can do is to try to understand the ways that it effects us and our peers today davidshaw3 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871651 2020-11-09 19:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905871651 I feel uncomfortable because sometimes I fear I am saying something indirectly offensive without having any poor intentions. It's just a sensitive topic and obviously no one wants to make a mistake that may give the wrong impression. harrisonjones3 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872262 2020-11-09 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872262 sanjitjuneja https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872303 I feel kind of uncomfortable talking about the story and the book, but at the same time understand that it is important to feel this way in order to change my view on the world.]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872303 G Period -- comfort / discomfort check-in williamwatson2 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872747 While some of the stories and episodes from "Citizen" make me uneasy and uncomfortable, that will not discourage me from wanting to learn and gain a better understanding of race theory.

Though I know this is not the goal, I find it demeaning to my own experiences with race that we only discuss the achievements of one race.]]> 2020-11-09 19:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905872892 serenathompson1 https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905879491 I do not feel uncomfortable talking about this story and how I personally relate to it.]]> 2020-11-09 19:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/betsydurning/vs04r7qasaxxx0bk/wish/905879491
