SUMMARY:White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy: Ending the Shame Cycle
DESCRIPTION:White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy: Ending the Shame Cycle
   \n\nWe usually meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Pleas
 e note that due to the holidays\, in November and December there will be n
 o fourth-Tuesday meeting.\n\nOur topic for Tuesday\, November 9\, 2021 is 
 how to shed shame. As white people\, we have often been taught that racism
  is all about feelings: how we feel about others\, how we feel about ourse
 lves. When we learn more about the racism embedded deep in our society\, o
 ne of the feelings that can overwhelm us is shame\, which is irrelevant an
 d destructive. It is irrelevant if it concerns actions we didn't take pers
 onally (the actions of our ancestors or people who share whiteness)\, and 
 it is destructive applied to ourselves\, because it creates a vortex of de
 featism\, blame and disconnection.\n\nIt is no exaggeration to say that wh
 ite people's sense of shame has prevented us from ending white supremacy f
 or hundreds of years--which then adds to our burden of shame. It's time to
  end the shame cycle! We'll practice together\, learning techniques that u
 se our shame response as a cue to turn towards positive words and actions.
 \n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend this session and are not subscribed 
 to the email list\, please email dismantlingwhitesupremacy+subscribe@uucpa
 .org.  Zoom information for the session will be sent to this list early n
 ext week.  We welcome new attendees at any time!\n\nAll people of whateve
 r race or background are welcome to attend any or all sessions. We call th
 e group “White Folks . . . ” because we recognize that the work of dis
 mantling white supremacy is for white people to do. It’s also important 
 to have anti-racism learning spaces for white folks\, where they can grapp
 le with new ideas about racism and speak candidly about their fears and mi
 sconceptions. It can be painful for people of color to witness these conve
 rsations\, so we have created this space apart from the main body of the c
 ongregation.\n\n
