Racism

[close] For too long, White people have ignored and perpetuated racism in the U.S. It is a systemic disease, and we can no longer be silent and pretend that it is not our problem. In order to fight for justice, we need to educate ourselves on the issues and how best to tackle them. We need to call out our White brothers and sisters when they commit microaggressions or casual racism. In order to do that, we need to be able to recognize it when it happens. This is our work. The aim of this book club is to bring individuals together to educate ourselves. We know that reading alone can be daunting, and can always be put off to another day. Together we can hold each other accountable. This is a matter of urgency, as we have seen over and over, every day that racism is allowed to fester costs lives. And Black Lives Matter. This group is open to all, regardless of race or location. But we will primarily be reading books about racism in America.

[close] It's not up to black people to educate white people about the social issues, including systematic racism and daily microaggressions that affect them. It's time for white people to educate themselves. https://bookclubz.com/clubs/16526/join/617043/
