So I received some of the same knee-jerk reactions from people as I mentioned in my other question.
Here I want to talk about possible solutions. What do you think we can do to end racial prejudice? As evidenced in some of the responses, some white people dont want to face the realities of racisms effects on marginalized people. When we enter into discussions on it, as one commenter brilliantly pointed out, some people just feel really uncomfortable and would rather not speak on it. How do we get around that? How can we open up the doors to positive communication, so that we can find resolutions? How can we attack the issue, without attacking each other?
I identify as an African American woman. My family, however is so much more than that, but due to racism and prejudice, people only see black, when they look at me. To my knowledge, we are very mixed, black, polish jew, bajan, native american, portugese. My soon to be husband is polish and irish.
