A resource for folx trying to learn

All of us who have the good fortune to not be subjected to racial prejudice ourselves, but wish to better understand and support the cause of justice, are on a journey of learning. We can learn by reading, discussing, listening, reflecting, and asking ourselves and others hard questions.

To assist in that journey, I'm sharing a clear and simple resource that I believe can be helpful. It answers timely questions such as "What is structural racism?"

I hope you find it useful.

Turning the soil

This quote is particularly meaningful to me and I hope others will appreciate its honesty as we work to be better people and good parents: "The thing about being an anti-racist parent is that you have to be brave. You have to keep pulling out the roots that are embedded in your own heart. It’s like one of those garden weeds that you can’t smother or yank or poison. You have to keep turning the soil and taking it out piece by piece with great determination, honesty and courage. With God’s grace your children will learn how to do that from watching you stumble and get up again to try to repair the damage. There is no chance they will grow up unaffected by racism. Our job is to teach them the tools to dismantle it, in our own fumbling, open-hearted way." http://curlykidz.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/how_to_be_an_anti-racist_parent.pdf
