Skin in the Game: How White People Benefit from Dismantling White Supremacy

Abstract

White supremacy mythology is insidious, ubiquitous, slippery, and fatal. Yet most approaches to diversity fail to address it, and stay squarely within white comfort zones. This session explores how white people actually benefit from facing white supremacy mythology head-on and joining or leading efforts to dismantle it. Topics covered include: The White Supremacy Myth Mindset Continuum; Making Sense of Labels; Having Conversations with Ourselves and Other White People
