Unlearning Racism BlogRacism is not simply an individual trait, but the result of societal prejudices indoctrinated into the privileged through power structures.
This blog is a space to help the privileged unlearn racism through questioning. Run by a white intersectional feminist, it aims to be be a place to relieve PoCs from being seen as oppression dictionaries.
Obviously being run by a queer white woman, there are privileges held that means posts will not be perfect. Feel free to engage, discuss, point out if you feel you want to.
Welcome to Unlearning Racism.
I am a white queer woman. Over the last few years, I have been slowly coming to terms with the the racism that has ingrained itself over the years of living in a white-centric Western society, and the privilege I carry as a white person.
I am also lucky that I have PoC friends who have had the patience to answer my questions about their struggles. But while asking these questions, I realised that that act in itself is problematic; People of Colour are not oppression dictionaries.
That was the main reason for starting this. Secondly, I keep seeing white people try and make spaces created for PoC about their questions; this is what this is for.
I will be posting material I’ve written, articles I have sourced as well as reblogging posts that are relevant. Feel free to ask questions.
