Join Johnson the author of the acclaimed: The Racism Handbook for People Classified ‘Black’: A Guide to How Racism Really Works Vol I.
So many ‘black’ go through their whole lives and never fully understand how race and racism fully works? Many ‘black’ people who are committed to racial justice ask: How do we work through our personal barriers and create and carry out effective actions for change?
This 5-hour session is to ground a person in the a solid foundation and understanding of the above points so as to deepen their ‘race’ education.
Participants will:
- Engage in emergent dialogue about their own ‘race consciousness’ development and identity as people classified as black.
- Deepen their ability to identify internalised white supremacy and challenge co-option into ‘white’ privilege.
- Learn how ‘whites in general’ perpetuate racism through the ‘reproduction of racism’.
- Learn how people classified as black, ‘help’ to maintain and reproduce ‘the system of racism’.
- Explore common ‘white patterns’ and ‘European constants’ for the permanence of racism in all ‘white’ societies.
- Have an opportunity to directly engage with and ask questions of Johnson.
- Develop their knowledge of the construction of ‘race’ as essentially a global system based on a ‘black and white binary’.
