Headed out to Kohl's for triple wick vanilla candles and Halloween guest towels. They have the ones with cute little ghosts on sale.

"Well, some people say they're racist, some people say they're not sure."

Just a few days ago I was trying to write out what The 12 steps for an AA modeled program would be for recovering from white racism ... then I was like, wait this is taking too long- I'll google it and see if it's a thing. yes! RA is a thing!

Oh. shit. This illustrates why it's important to focus on ones own experience contributing to racism and constructing whiteness. Pointing fingers at public figures and calling racism has a place for sure (in this election year especially) but - here it is- proceed with caution because the metafunction of moral outrage events is to buttress the foundations of whiteness. (The everyday language of white racism/ jane h. hill, 2008)

This short documentary features interviews with white people on the challenges of talking about race.

Why do so many white people find it extremely uncomfortable to talk about race? Setting out to make the next installment of our Op-Doc video seriesabout race in America, we hoped to address that question. Because we live in New York, where there is no shortage of opinions, we didn’t think it would be too hard to find white people willing to speak publicly on this topic. We were wrong.

Pew study: 67 percent of white social media users won’t post about race

Pew found that black social media users are more likely than white or Hispanic users to use social media to discuss race. Twenty-eight percent of black social media users say at least some of the things they share or post on social networking sites are about race or race relations. One in five Hispanic respondents say the same.

Meanwhile, only 8 percent of white social media users say that at least some of things they share or post are about race relations, with a large majority (67 percent) saying they would never venture into this area.

And it looks like black social media users who opt out of sharing their own race-related posts are still much more likely to see this content in their feed than their white counterparts. “Even among black social media users who say they rarely or never discuss race relations or racial inequality, a majority (55 percent) state that most or some of the posts they see on social media pertain to race or race relations. That share drops to 23 percent for their white counterparts,” according to Pew.

That means many white users are missing out on the important debates, analysis, and awareness-raising content that Pew found, in another part of the study, is often responsive to breaking news about racial injustice and draws attention to concerns about things like diversity and representation.
