The learning cycle is a process. I need people to

The learning cycle is a process. I need people to start applying what they say they've been learning about. Let's listen, learn, apply, reflect, and grow. Then continue that cycle. White supremacy won't be stopped by good listeners. We need anti-racist people taking action.

I had the pleasure of listening to @deonnasmith interview @annibeth43 last night, and Dr. Morris was dropping some gems! ✨ I hear some school organizations saying and posting that Black Lives Matter, but what does that look like when you make goals for your school? Aside from actually saying, "Black lives matter," what steps are schools taking to show they really believe this and are committed to change?
And for the racist and fragile people that are going to say, "So we should just give BIPOCs jobs as teachers just because they are BIPOC? No, of course not. But why do you assume they wouldn't be qualified? Has anyone worked at a school where your school had an actual plan in place to hire and RETAIN BIPOC teachers? You can't hire teachers of color to check a box and then allow a racist school culture to burn them out and cause them to leave.

I spoke about white privilege at my school two yea

I spoke about white privilege at my school two years ago and one of the denials of white privilege I heard (and hear often) was, "My white friend grew up poor in a Black community. They all had the same opportunities."
No. They may have lacked similar things, but they most certainly did not have the exact same opportunities or privilege based on their skin color. If that white friend and a Black person both applied for the same job, applied to the same college, applied for a loan, sat in the same elementary classroom, walked around a store, walked around with a hoodie at night, or got arrested, the Black person would not be in the same boat as the white person. Yes, they are both poor, which comes with its own discrimination, but poor and Black? This isn't the struggle olympics, but let's not pretend we all have the same opportunities regardless of race. Let's be interactional.
