<p>My initial goal with these emails was to have a month where, every day, white people learned more about systemic racism and, in the smallest of ways, experienced the daily mental and emotional load BIPOC have to work under. <span style="font-size:12pt">The
danger, of course, being this is a public space and BIPOC would be negatively impacted by a bunch of white folk learning about </span><span style="font-size:12pt">and discussing systemic racism. </span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I was told earlier today that I am hurting some BIPOC colleagues, that the pain I am causing in doing this is outweighing any possible good that could come from it. If you don't understand how that could be, read April Hathcock's,
<i>Your Learning Hurts</i> (<a href="https://aprilhathcock.wordpress.com/2020/01/21/your-learning-hurts/" class="OWAAutoLink">https://aprilhathcock.wordpress.com/2020/01/21/your-learning-hurts/</a>).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I knew this was a possibility, in fact, it was going to be the subject of an upcoming email. However, given the hurt I am causing, it is time to stop.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To my BIPOC colleagues, I am sorry for causing you pain. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To my white colleagues, it is my greatest hope that you begin, or continue, to learn about our role in systemic racism. Here are some resources:</p>
