I dislike discussing & learning about racial justice in classrooms with YT ppl.
The learning is often too uni-directional. I feel that my education is often placed on hold so that the YT ppl in the room can play catch up.
My education seems to be prioritized 2nd to YT ppl’s.

For example, every diversity and inclusion class I have to read Peggy’s YT Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible... and I always exit that reading feeling really crappy because I’m reminded of the privileges that I don’t have access to. It really does nothing for me.
I’m tired of reading about the same disparities. Shit, I’ve grown up with the disparities.
It’s like the whole class is to prove to YT ppl that systemic racism is real.

Not to mention, I’m asked to tip toe around everybody’s YT fragility. I’m required to show up docile with how I critique and when I critique. Be measured, use “I” statements....
Girl can y’all leave me alone and talk to yourself!

I rather spend my time learning about the strengths of Black ppl and other racial minorities. What strategies have these folks used to survive and thrive? How can we adapt this strategies and teaching to our research and practice?
Probably a controversial thread, But that’s just me.
