Chapter 17 - Success

”Policymakers and policies make societies and institutions, not the other way around. The United States is a racist nation because it’s policymakers and policies have been racist from the beginning.” Pg. 223

Being an antiracist is going to be a lifetime journey because there will always be policies that have to be checked and ideas evaluated as being racist.

Being an antiracist is supporting antiracist policies or expressing antiracist ideas.

Self-Reflection.
Success is my learning and gaining new perspectives in becoming a better person for those around me. Recognizing my racist ideas and policies that I have supported is good but it will not stop there. This is an ongoing process that will never be complete.

I am not a writer, but I will write.

My responsibility as a human being and as an educator is to be antiracist in my ideas, actions and curriculum.

I do not expect Black, Latinx, Indigenous, AAPI and the LGBTQ+ communities to be teaching me. I would appreciate any misunderstandings or further learning opportunities be brought to my attention so that I do not cause harm to others from my ignorance.
