Mark Charles - The spiritual price of the Doctrine of DiscoveryMark Charles - The spiritual price of the Doctrine of Discovery·       Marks views on race from a native American perspective are eye opening.
Matthew Curry Mark Charles talks about white Americans being traumatized by centuries of racism and its affects on their psyche causes them to exist in denial, or delusion about racism.https://youtu.be/fYZ2rj2Jooc Matthew Curry I think racism can be dealt with when the white people who consider themselves "not racist" start confronting racists and racism within their own families, circles of friends, and their communities headon.
1. By speaking up and out instead of remaining silent in order not to offend a family member...
2. Seek to reverse public policies that subtly promote, or defend racism, and classism like housing association charter agreements...
Confederate flag waving (because of what it represents)...
3. Standing with, supporting openly and or marching with antiracism activists groups...
4. Challenging hiring minority practices at your job or business...
5. Calling out publicly local and national political leaders including presidents when they say racist things and make racist decisions...
4. Expose hate groups and their members even if they sit at your dinner table, or appear in family photos...
5. Confront, and seek the removal of racist law enforcement officers in your communities...
6. Openly invite people of color to your social events, like BBQ's, church...etc, and seek to attend social activities of black and brown people...
7.Empathize openly with and respect the struggles of people of color in America even if you don't understand, agree, or can't relate personally...
8. Educate yourselves on racism with books like "White Fragility" by Robin DeAngelo, Birth of a White Nation" by Jacqueline Battalora, "Tears We Cannot Stop" (a sermon to white America) by Michael Eric Dyson. Anything by Dr. Henry Louis Gates, or Jane Elliott...etc.

Understand that having the Privilege of being white in America, is also the privilege of not having to experiance being black or brown in America too.

Everything I've listed takes hard work, effort, faith, prayer, and a genuine desire to love all of humanity as you love yourself...

MARSE: How Racism is Alive in (Many of) Our White Bodies - TODAY!

MARSE:  A Psychological Portrait Of The Southern Slavemaster And His Legacy Of White Supremacy  - By: H.D. Kirkpatrick  (Prometheus Books, 2022) This is an amazing book!     It brings in a whole new layer (or way of explaining it) into understanding racism - especially for white people - and even more so for white men.    It is scary reading!     It is a “good” kind of scary!    It helps me open up my heart - more and more to ponder the intersections of the power of elites.   It shows how they play off the “little people” - against each other.   It shows how, by our essential relative silence, we (,who think we are “better” than those “other “ white people,) acquiesce to their power.

Being White Today - A Tremendous Book!

Shelly Tochluk and Christine Saxman in BEING WHITE TODAY: A Roadmap for a Positive Antiracist Life have written an excellent “basics” book for a wide variety of white people who care about racism, as well as for others who aren’t “there” yet!    (As the author’s explain at the beginning of the book, the book may be useful for People of Color primarily where they work with white people on racism related issues.)   The book personalizes our (their) personal journeys (as white people), as well as providing pointed examples of what we, as white people, go through becoming deeply Anti-Racist, or finding the far simpler path of accepting racism. “ I’m so sick of this school making me feel guilty for being White.   I’m ready to join the alt-right and I’m Jewish” …   I take a deep breath prompted by the gasp.   I move closer.   “Tell me more about the school making you feel guilty” (p.1) “ We have successfully frozen their brand - ‘critical race theory’ - into the public conversation and
