#anti racism training

[inclusiveleadersgroup]

In today's increasingly diverse world, addressing issues related to racism has become a pressing need. Anti-racism training has emerged as a powerful tool in combating prejudice, bias, and discrimination. In this article, we will delve into the significance of anti-racism training, its key components, and its impact on society.

Introduction

Racism is a deeply rooted issue that continues to plague societies worldwide. However, the fight against racism has gained momentum in recent years, with anti-racism training at the forefront of this battle. This article explores the role of anti-racism training in dismantling prejudice and promoting a more inclusive and equitable society.

if I’m honest, I have never seen so much blatant actual antisemitism in my life as I have in the past 2 weeks. overwhelmingly on the left, but on the right too. I didn’t know it was this bad.

[thisismisogynoir]

All of the Hazbin Hotel characters’ designs are bad beyond belief but imo the icing on the sour cake is Alastor. Who the hell(no pun intended) thought this shit was fucking okay?

I mean just look at his ass:

Who tf looked at this and thought “yup, seems legit” what is going on with his silhouette? His hair? His face(which I’ll be getting back to later bc I mean OH GOD)? His outfit? 🤮 You expect me to be happy with this? Also why the hell is he so skinny? He makes the Disney Princesses look healthy and realistic in comparison, because damn.

And that’s not even getting into the sheer anti-Blackness that goes into his character and thus his design: him being an evil cannibalistic voodoo practitioner, with his Blackness slapped onto him as a less minute attempt to make his portrayal seem “not racist” well guess what BitchziePop, it is. The man is supposedly half-Black on his mother’s side, and yet he does NOT look Black at all. He does not have Black features, nor Afro-textured hair, what a goddamn JOKE. *he also does not have a Black/biracial voice actor. so much for diversity I suppose.

And don’t even get me started on that big ass, creepy ass, goofy ass grin:

Oh dear.

U.S. audiences enjoy survival horror stories with Asians in Asia, like Squid Game and Battle Royale. But they don’t want to acknowledge that Asian Americans’ lived reality is a survival horror too.

I have mixed feelings about Squid Game's success. I enjoy the survival horror genre as both a writer and consumer, but seeing how non-Asian U.S. audiences reacted to it in the midst of violent anti-Asian hate crimes left me wondering about the reason for the show's U.S. appeal.

Violence against Asians—particularly when done en masse—is so normalized that I wonder if this type of media provides catharsis to racists. News of hate crimes might briefly force them to feel guilty, but when they see fictional violence against Asians, they can cheer for it. It's as if it evokes the imagery Americans are most familiar with: slaughtering Asians by the dozens or even thousands, a legacy of numerous U.S. wars in Asia. The victims are nameless and unimportant. They're just a statistic, a plot point. One more to add to the body count.

Also, the U.S. loves using Asians in Asia as media replacements for AsAms. It simultaneously reinforces Asians as perpetual foreigners, and prevents giving a microphone to the type of Asian American who would unflinchingly discuss anti-Asian racism and challenge the status quo.

Asian men especially are seen as disposable targets with no humanity and no purpose other than to be mocked and slaughtered on screen. Deadpool, Daredevil, Avengers, Bullet Train, Kill Bill, etc. feature scenes where a protagonist cuts down hordes of Asian men in seconds.

This has real-life consequences. Hate crimes against AAPI men have been purposely belittled, hidden, and ignored—even in media narratives that purport to draw attention to anti-Asian racism. It becomes a feedback loop that double-victimizes AAPI men. (see my data thread)

The hatred of Asian men is so normalized that in AsAm spaces the only acceptable Asian male victim to publicly mention is Vincent Chin, who was murdered 40 years ago. There have been many Vincent Chins since then. But victims get reduced to headlines like "killed over duck sauce.”

Instead, when anti-Asian hate crimes are discussed, it's limited to a narrow range of experience, privileging East Asian women over pretty much all other Asians. This erasure is harmful on many levels and has still not been corrected or even acknowledged. (see my data thread)

I think many AsAms feel like Asian Twitter recently died. But for me, it died several years ago, when Asians with media power decided that all of this harm and imbalance was not only normal, but good. Our community has been broken for a long time. They don't want to fix it.

So does this mean Squid Game, Battle Royale, etc. are bad stories? No. It means we need better real-life conversations and efforts to understand what anti-Asian racism is and how to fix it. Survival horror is a fun thought experiment—until you realize you're living in one.

I don’t care how you feel about Disney -- when The Little Mermaid is released: you need to go see it in theaters. You need to stream the music and right now, you need to go support the teaser trailer by liking it and leaving positive comments and even more so when the official trailer is released. Report any hate you see and keep it moving. Don’t engage with the racists. Just support. Show up and show out when the film is released.

Some people really need to learn how to differentiate between text and headcanons when doing literary analyses, like, if I, a Chinese person, decided to headcanon Quincey as a Chinese-American cowboy, that's perfectly fine, but it would be unfair and inaccurate of me to accuse the text and Bram Stoker of being racist and Sinophobic for killing off the one Chinese character in the novel, you know?

Likewise, it's fine if I want to headcanon Mina as an asexual lesbian for personal reasons, but that can't really be the basis for me arguing that the epilogue is textually aphobic and lesbophobic for Mina to have had a baby with Jonathan and that's why the epilogue is bad and wrong.

---NOVELS---

Giovanni's room"When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is swept into a passionate love affair. But his girlfriend's return to Paris destroys everything. Unable to admit to the truth, David pretends the liaison never happened - while Giovanni's life descends into tragedy. This book introduces love's fascinating possibilities and extremities."

Go Tell It On The Mountain"(...)Baldwin's first major work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves."

+bonus: film adaptation on youtube. (if you’re a giancarlo esposito fan, you’ll be delighted to see him in an early preacher role)

Another Country and Going to Meet the Man Another country: "James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit." Going to meet the Man: " collection of eight short stories by American writer James Baldwin. The book, dedicated "for Beauford Delaney", covers many topics related to anti-Black racism in American society, as well as African-American–Jewish relations, childhood, the creative process, criminal justice, drug addiction, family relationships, jazz, lynching, sexuality, and white supremacy."

Just Above My Head"Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses--and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land."

If Beale Street Could Talk"Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche."

also has a film adaptation by moonlight's barry jenkins

Tell Me How Long the Train's been gone At the height of his theatrical career, the actor Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers between life and death, Baldwin shows the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the intoxicating world of the theater lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and rage. An adored older brother vanishes into prison. There are love affairs with a white woman and a younger black man, each of whom will make irresistible claims on Leo's loyalty.

Employers may be uncertain about where to start, especially in smaller organisations without an HR function or individuals administration skilled to supply them with perception and steerage. But, this isn’t a purpose to do nothing, or to draw back from conversations about race.

So, think about my surprise when the facilitators had been asking questions and almost no person seemed to want to respond. There have been some lengthy, awkward pauses earlier than someone finally decided to stammer out a reply. There were a couple of occasions that I, one of two Black folks on the decision, determined to speak first just because I didn't need to hear how loud the silence was. Yes, there have been a few educators that engaged from the start, but overall, not as a lot as I had anticipated. They would possibly even influence others’ studying, starting to transform classrooms from the underside up. In 2020, the cascade of murders of Black and Brown individuals and the Black Lives Matter protests demonstrated the prevalence of systemic, structural, and institutional racism. Structural racism permeates our democratic institutions, including legal schooling and the legal occupation. Senior leaders and other people managers want to have interaction in ongoing, responsive, two-way dialogue with employees to ensure that employees really feel listened to and valued. Genuine communication between employers and workers offers a voice for folks, and a possibility for the organisation to pay attention, identify and act on issues raised.

Discrimination Training Examples: 6 Common Types

But that’s akin to asking a physician to put in writing a prescription with out first understanding the patient’s underlying health situation. Organizations and societies alike must resist the impulse to seek instant reduction for the symptoms, and as a substitute focus on the illness. Asking staff immediately affected by bias to share their experiences before and after companywide UB training can also help leaders perceive whether or not significant change is happening. One way to do that can be via surveys done simply before and few months after the training. To promote improvements, corporations like Microsoft and Corning publish demographic employment knowledge in public reports annually. Starbucks tracks buyer engagement with employees in different shops, asking whether their efforts are bettering buyer experiences. According to the writer, the reason why anti-racism training fails is because “teaching folks to assume about race can make them more racist.” The rationale behind this assertion is what is dubbed as the theory of ironic processes. According to this principle, the more you try to suppress a specific thought, the more durable it is to truly achieve this. Telling somebody not to think about a pink elephant, for instance, will conjure up photographs of the precise factor you are trying to ignore. Even with one of the best variety training attainable, nothing will be achieved with out altering present buildings that perpetuate discrimination. I’ve devoted much of my tutorial profession to the examine of diversity, leadership, and social justice, and through the years I’ve consulted on these subjects with scores of Fortune 500 companies, federal companies, nonprofits, and municipalities.

Racism can have many psychological sources—cognitive biases, persona traits, ideological worldviews, psychological insecurity, perceived risk, or a necessity for power and ego enhancement. But most racism is the results of structural factors—established legal guidelines, institutional practices, and cultural norms. Nonetheless, managers typically misattribute workplace discrimination to the character of particular person actors—the so-called dangerous apples—rather than to broader structural components. antiracism corporate Cultivating an anti-racist mindfulness practice is essential to doing and sustaining this work.

Thankfully, 2020 has seen Americans pursuing real systemic change with unprecedented voracity — The New York Times called the continued Black Lives Matter movement the largest in American historical past (at least by some measures). Corporate America is starting to step up, and one of the first steps in doing so is partaking in real, considerate conversations about racism in the workplace. Only 3% of all senior management roles are held by Black professionals (for context, Black individuals make up an estimated 12% of the American population).

Some Stop Cop City TikToks caught my attention

and got me interested in learning more about Cop City. I thought I would share some of the information I found.

from Police Foundations. These are not necessarily corporations that donated to Cop City, but they are to show that donating to police is something corporations regularly do.

Cop City is another name for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Funded with $90,000,000 in taxes and donations.

Largest police training facility in the United States.

Located in the densest black populated area in Georgia.

Cop City is being built in one of Atlanta’s last forests.

Stop Cop City protester and environmentalist activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán was shot “12 or 13” times by a police officer despite Terán not firing at the police. The cop did not face charges because the killing was “objectively reasonable under the circumstances of this case”.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr described Defend Atlanta Forest as “an anarchist, anti-police, and anti-business extremist organization” and 61 activists have been charged with domestic terrorism.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) directly shares strategies with the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE). “The Atlanta Police Department and Fulton County SWAT teams had conducted training exercises in an abandoned hotel to remove “Hamas terrorists’.”

Corporations like Dunkin Donuts parent corporation Inspire Brands, Coca-Cola, Chic-Fil-A, Bank of America, UPS, Norfolk Southern, and more help fund Cop City with multimillion-dollar donations. Coca-Cola, UPS, Chic-Fil-A, and more made statements during the murder of George Floyd with things like “…end the cycle of systemic racism”, “creating social impact, advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion”, and “building stronger communities.” Corporations often donate to police foundations.
