​Look, Learn, Live is our internal communication series helping employees explore topics related to racial justice. ​
Week 7 -  Look, Learn, and Live Racial Justice
10/13/2020
Picture
LOOK:
“I don’t see race. I’m a good person.”
Translation: I’m going to use my place of privilege to refute and deny the sufferings of those who do not have white privilege while at the same time erasing their personal cultural history. 

LEARN:
-Color-Blindness: An assertion that one does not notice the color or race of individuals. The problem with colorblind racism is that when you don't “see color” it robs groups of their identity, experience, plight, beauty, and strength. Saying you're color blind means you can't address racism in all its extensive infrastructure — because you can't address what you aren't willing to see. (definition taken largely from https://www.kqed.org/perspectives/201601138399/the-problem-with-colorblindness ).
 
LIVE IT:
              Watch: Free Online Screening of the film John Lewis: Get in the Way from ARTI (Registration required)

OBSERVE:  mira la figura
  
“"No veo la raza. Soy una buena persona" 
Traducción: Voy a utilizar mi lugar de privilegio para refutar y negar los sufrimientos de quienes no tienen el privilegio de los blancos y al mismo tiempo borrar su historia personal y cultural.” 
  
APRENDA: 
- No ver la raza: Una afirmación de que uno no se da cuenta del color o la raza de los individuos. El problema con el racismo de este tipo es que cuando no "ves el color", le niego a ese grupo su identidad, experiencia, situación, belleza y fuerza. Decir que no ves la raza significa que no puedes abordar el racismo en toda su amplia infraestructura, porque no puedes abordar lo que no estás dispuesto a ver. (definición tomada en gran parte de https://www.kqed.org/perspectives/201601138399/the-problem-with-colorblindness ). 
  
VÍVALO:
