Part of my own undoing racism is wrapped around the messaging I received for over 40 years that includes justification of oppression. The concept that people with privilege deserve more or are entitled to more while oppressed people have made their own bed and now need to lie in it, is reinforced through or government and social systems. I need to spend every day looking at those systems and deciding how I can have an impact.
It is such a powerful message that the poor deserve to be poor, and moniorities deserve to be marginalized...I know I have spent a lot of time during this pandemic reflecting on my priveledge and how it has given me advantages that I may not even realize it gives me.
