The Race Card Project
By Michele Norris

Race is a construct we all have a part in teaching to our youth. Yes, we are a part of a system, yes we are just individuals working to make the best as good as it can be, yes the oppressive ideas and incentives that keep race and other factors of difference prominent decision-making tools in our communities and countries. So what are you gonna do about it?

My six words reflect the reality that even with the increasing diversity in the U.S. and the increased interactions across racial and ethnic lines, White supremacy still exists. I think many people naively assume that the increasing diversity will solve our racial problems. However, racial segregation still exists, under investment in schools where most Black and Brown kids go to school, police still occupy communities of color, mass incarceration of Black and Brown is still happening, etc. And Whites still benefit disproportionately in society and control the money and power. Not only that, racism is still used to divide poor Whites from people of color, whom could otherwise unite and change our oppressive capitalistic system to be much more equitable. White supremacy is alive and well.

I realize now that with my white male privilege, I have a unique position and that my silence is what allows the minority who sow hatred to flourish. I must speak out to my peers but doing so will make me an outcast. I do not hesitate but am acutely aware of how oppressive being in the majority can be when you must speak against them.
