“In A Racist Society It Is Not Enough To Be Non-racist, We .
1“In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.”Angela Davis“One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as anantiracist. There is no in-between safe space of “not racist.” The claim of “not racist” neutrality isa mask for racism.”Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an AntiracistThe beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be anti-racist.Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’sthe only way forward.Ijeoma Oluomore Black bodies fallinto the bag of my heartcontinuous rageTasha K
2Anti-racism Resource GuideLast Updated: June 8, 2020This anti-racist resource guide was crafted amidst the anger of the latest black body turned hashtag #AhmaudArbery.It is consistently being updated to address the current climate of our country and the personal growth needed tosustain this life-long journey. Please note that this document was and will continue to be a group effort. Suggestedadditions or other feedback can be emailed to me at the address below. I have tried extremely hard to thoroughlycomb through these resources before they were listed, but always seeking new material. It took a lot of time andenergy, emotional and mental labor to get this document to its current update. Some have asked about financiallysupporting the continued work of this anti-racism resource guide, that info is also below.This is just a resource, not a map leading to a destination, but help along the way, a strong start. The tendency to tryand get through this list in its entirety and feel accomplished or to get overwhelmed by the ever growing list are realreactions we should leave behind. Again, this IS LIFE-LONG WORK that we choose to enter into, a journey for an antiracist traveler that will take a lifetime.Starting Your Journey begins on page three and is based on Ibram X. Kendi’s anti-racism syllabus. There are four stepsto guide you into the other resources that begin on page four. If you don’t feel quite ready to begin your journey, youcan start below with some suggested pre-reading. Throughout the guide you will notice, White authors are noted,books are alphabetized by author, and podcasts, movie trailers, and organization websites are all linked. It is stronglyencouraged that if you choose to purchase a book, you find it on a site that benefits the writer the most.It is important to start somewhere, even though there is no end point. This is a tool. This does not even brush the surfaceof anti-racism resources, but it is a start. Learning, re-learning, and decolonizing history are all necessary pieces of thisjourney, but should coincide with other things like listening, taking action, financially supporting, decenteringwhiteness, etc.For those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) engagement with these resources may betriggering. These materials are intended to help you further understand oppressive systems, and provide more toolsand resources to fight these systems while recognizing how your own bias contributes to your prejudices.For those of you who are White, engaging with these resources could bring a negative or defensive reaction. Iencourage you to challenge your own culture, privilege, and bias while continuing the fight against oppressivesystems that you benefit from.I truly believe that this ongoing work is a journey of empathy and care for humanity, individually and collectively. Wemust engage if we want to do intentional anti-racism work in our families, our classrooms, our conversations, ourmeetings, our community, our country, and our world.Tasha KEmail/Paypal: antiracismresourceguide@gmail.comVenmo: @tatortashCa hApp: tatortashSUGGESTED PRE-READINGBlindspotMahzarin R.
