rp @wherechangestarted: White supremacy may be systemic, but it is far from passive. It works hard to maintain the power dynamics that uphold it. We cannot be passive in our attempt to dismantle it. Ever.

Antiracism requires you to be intentional. To be committed to moving through the process of becoming antiracist - generally, and specifically for any subject/topic you are having trouble with. To actively work at unpacking your racial triggers and replacing your racist tools of defense with tools of accountability. If you’re here, I’m guessing you get that.

It is far too easy to rest on passive thoughts in agreement, likes on social media posts, and feelings of solidarity and support while sitting on the side lines in this work. But no one can do your work for you. Only you can.
.
As we move further into 2020 and some of you find yourselves feeling less energetic about antiracism in comparison to how you started the year (all pumped up and ready to break some shit), I want you to take some time this weekend to think about how to set realistic and sustainable goals for yourself in this work. You need to get out ahead of prolonged burnout. I want you do be in this ACTIVELY for the long haul. I want you to maintain the drive and sense of urgency that you feel right now.
.
Be intentional and do what you need to do to make sure that happens. Let’s be real about putting in this work to create the world we believe in. Do the work! #antiracism - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
