The White Student Anti-racist Network
What does it mean to be white?
Most white people think of themselves as not having a race and
therefore their lives as have little to do with racism. As a result we
often leave it up to people of color to educate others about race and
racism. One of the ways that racism reproduces itself is through
silence, preventing conversation and fostering fear. The White Student
Anti-Racist network is an attempt to begin a conversation about racism
among white students: How do white people benefit from racism? How
does race effect the lives of white people?
The goals of this organization are:
To allow white students to begin to think of themselves as impacted by racism
To develop the language and comfort to discuss race and racism
To think of how white people might begin to understand themselves as
allies with people of color to combat racism
Our first meeting is Thursday March 4, at 8 PM in the Demotte Room of
Campus Center.
