32. Letter To My White Friends Struggling With Calls for Justice
Show Notes

This letter to my white friends who are still struggling with calls for racial and social justice and who, at times, feel that they are being called racist simply because they are white.  It has taken me many versions to come to this recording and it is intended to help clarify some of the terminology and challenges that they may be struggling with while encouraging dialogue to try to better understand the historic and institutional foundations behind the movement. 
All white people are not racist because simply they are white. The racism that is being referred to is the institutional and power structures that continue to benefit one group above the other and that need to be dismantled. The concept of individual responsibility versus community complicity is explained in this episode.
