Racism

[close] This is a group for readers to read and discuss books centering around the topic of race. It is a place for learning, asking questions, and building understanding. All are welcome to join and read with us. This group welcomes discussion but does not tolerate bullying, hate speech, or racism of any kind.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] Group for people wanting to learn more about racism, their own blind spots and how to become better allies. Add books to the list you'd like to read in the future. We are a group of friends, open to sharing our list of books, but not looking to accept new members at this time.

[close] For those asking “Why would they say that?” or “How can they think that?”, this is a group where these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know - whatever your perspective. In this era of social media, I see less of a propensity for critical thinking and learning and more of a drive to shout and turn a deaf ear. We weather socio-economic, racial, religious, political, and other storms with routine frustration and too-often rigorous animosity and slanderous debate. 2020 appears to be one of these storms in our history and developing identity. In this group, we seek to understand. We listen. We think critically and question. Regardless of your position or thoughts on a particular issue, we can all discuss these things through an avenue of books.
