The problem of White Supremacy - Spinoff from Buffalo Shooting thread

Scattered thoughts

1. Wypipo need to be shown that race is not a zero sum game

2. It needs to be shown (again and again) that racism is a net drain on society- society (infrastructure, education, culture, et al) will gain tremendously if racism can be significantly dealt with

3. Media literacy- distrust completely those who tell you to hate other people- sure that’s a platitude but the work comes in discovering all the nuanced ways hate is taught/spread

4 (hardest one yet) defang parents - they get zero say so on actual curriculum (they can be part of panels who can offer suggestions as long as those panels are broad and diverse)

5. Jim Crow needs to be centralized into all US History lessons (completely swap ‘slavery’ lessons with ‘Jim crow’ lessons) no one can pretend to know US history if they don’t know Jim Crow history (consult with Germany about how they instituted holocaust studies in their schools)
