[Libs-Or] Even More on White Privilege

Fri Mar 3 10:26:41 PST 2023

Believe in white privilege and systemic racism? Love is doing something. Contact the wonderful people on the OLA EDIA committee(1), contact the groovy folk at the Unpacking Discussion Group(2), grab the nearest white person and start talking, and/or email me and start talking(3). DO NOT talk to your BIPOC friends or colleagues, they have enough without having to explain to another white person - yet again - what's going on. DO listen to your BIPOC friends and colleagues...actually listen...really listen...and learn.

Don't believe in white privilege? Don't believe in systemic racism? Are(4) you(5) really(6) sure(7) about(8) that(9)? There(10) seem(11) to(12) be(13) a(14) lot(15) of(16) indicators(17) in(18) our(19)...ahhh(20)...system(21) that(22) point(23) to(24) huge(25) disparities(26) in(27) almost(28) every(29) aspect(30) of(31) American(32) life(33) that(34) would(35) seem(36) to(37) indicate(38) otherwise(39). Still(40) don't(41) believe(42)? I would really love to hear from you and learn why you (dis)believe what you do?(43) We can even go to personal emails so everything stays nice and confidential.

Three days in a row y'all have put up with me, and I thank you for your patience. I'll be taking the weekend off. It's a three day weekend (woot!) for me. I hope yours is pleasant, and if you're working, I hope your #SaturdayLibrarian/#SundayLibrarian shift goes quickly and quietly.
