What was one successful thing that happened this week? What feelings do you have about racism?What experience did you feel you were treated racist?
After this circle experience, it was easier for me to share with Cara because she was white. Not because I felt more comfortable talking to her, but more because I was afraid of offending anyone with anything I said. I felt my responses might be judged by Rashawn, Shirley and Francisco. Isn’t that racism? Am I racist? Or is it just because the questions became more difficult. I shared about my experiences with my kids I’m tutoring right now…and how I felt successful because I made them prewrite for an essay about goals besides wanting to have a family. The first word I thought of regarding racism was family.
