rp @eliana.chinea: When it comes to privilege we need to fully understand what that means, because we all have it just some more than others. And if that privilege goes unchecked you will fall prey to doing this work centering the oppressor rather than uplifting the oppressed.
.
One example can be seen as paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for social justice or anti racism courses run by white folks who earn a profit off your coins rather than volunteering their time for a BIPOC leader to be amplified instead.
.
There’s a reason whiteness centers itself in this work, and literally everything else, and there’s a reason bias justifies you to pay them and not the BIPOC leaders who are more effective and have a lived experience guiding them.
.
There’s also a reason why Latinx and Black women only have $100 in wealth on average as compared to the average white woman who has $40k in wealth. And there’s a reason the most truly diverse companies are the most innovative as well, but not the ones who tokenize diversity and just hire brown and black folks for lower level positions. It’s the companies who create equity for BIPOC and pay them equally for upper management roles, including them in decision making and amplifying their contributions.
.
So, what do you say we stop playing games and we start dismantling oppressive systems by creating equity for the oppressed?! - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
