You may personalize the remarks, not directed personally at you. It is the arrogance of your privilege that drags the focus back to whites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The handout repeatedly generalizes about whites, saying, \u201cWhites are more willing and more comfortable decrying our oppression than scrutinizing our privilege.\u201d It uses the term whites over and over again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/will-law.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Common-Racist-Attitudes-no-highlights.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the handout here.<\/a>\u00a0One excerpt generalizes about white people\u2019s beliefs about police and the court system.<\/p>\n<p>Another excerpt is critical of conservative talk show legend Rush Limbaugh, telling students that quotes by him were \u201cloaded with white people\u2019s fear of people of color and what would happen if they gained \u2018control.\u2019 Embedded here is also the assumption that to be \u2018pro-black\u2019 (or any other color) is to be anti-white.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The handout shared by WILL also contains this passage, \u201cBy saying we are not different, that you don\u2019t see the color, you are also saying you don\u2019t see your whiteness. This denies the people of colors\u2019 experience of racism and your experience of privilege.\u201d Another excerpt tells students, \u201cTo say people of color can be racist, denies the power imbalance inherent in racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"et_social_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/www.bootsandsabers.com\/2024\/01\/18\/uw-requires-racist-reeducation\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=uw-requires-racist-reeducation Wow.
