Antiracism for White Men Ready to Step Off the Sideline (DQ Solo)

#130: More and more white men are coming to me with a version of the following:

 

“It’s long overdue that I speak up against injustice and systemic oppression…

…but I don’t know where to begin.”

 

Now, I am not an expert or an authority in racial issues or antiracist practices.

 

But it is time to step off the sidelines.

 

So let’s have a candid conversation about how to do that.

 

Again, because I am no expert, the vast majority of what you’ll hear in this episode is me reporting from the experts:

• Authors
• Leaders
• Activists
• Anti-Racist Teachers
• And of Course, People of Color’s Lived Experiences

 

In this Episode

• Why the racial travesties of the last few weeks “feel so different” to the white community than previous travesties
• Why white men need to come off the sideline and be actively antiracist
• Why your grandchildren would be ashamed if you stayed on the sideline right now
• The 4 antiracist principles – informed by people of color – that I’m using to guide my journey
