Inviting BBIPOC educators 2 trainings, workshops organised by whyte spaces doesn't make 1 'not racist', 'diverse', 'inclusive'. Also, schools celebrating their anti-racism trainings & sharing 'successes' continue 2 perpetuate racism. U r still perpetuating violence & r complicit.

So yt (NOT a derogatory term and please look beyond the first definition that pops up on google) people say they want to work on anti-racist policies. However, what's obvious is the privileging of yt ppl's comfort. They mostly want to work with those POC who will not challenge

[@SarmaPavithra.bsky.social @SarmaPavithra]

Whiteness is not just abt whyte folx & how they benefit from it but also abt folx of colour who do everything possible 2 deny racism, gaslight other POC & uphold yt supremacy. Centuries of indoctrination, modes of survival & being mammals also create a form of Stockholm syndrome.

10 Black and POC orgs! Together we are powerful, divide and conquer will no longer work. Structural racism in Scotland & the youth work sector will soon be called out and evidenced. Very much looking forward to seeing our voices in @rowenaarshad’s upcoming report.

Like academics everywhere- we are learning from each other in what Decolonising the Curriculum means - check out what some colleagues are doing in at the Uni of Edinburgh https://t.co/UvH0jKTWw8

Young performers absolutely nailing it at @InterculturalYS's #SiC2021 festival today. At the Biscuit Factory all day (and all night!). Team @CultureColSco cheering you on!

@StephenMcKinne8 @GerardCarruthe2 @JandPScotland @WestminsterJP @SBearsden @churchscotland @angelajaap @StephenPaulDay @rshanks @SERA_Conference @SERAemerge @SERA_ECR This is so heartbreaking and we know life expectancy rates in Scotland is the lowest in Western Europe. We can make a difference and we need to be eliminating food banks. Use our tax raising powers

A great listen and also a useful podcast series with lots of ideas on how colleagues are taking forward Decolonising the Curriculum at @UoE

[@SarmaPavithra.bsky.social @SarmaPavithra]

Just a reminder 2 those claiming 2 understand racism but uphold it in myriad ways, that
👉🏾 Awareness of racism ≠ Understanding of racism. Reading books, listening 2 POC, attending trainings NEED 2 translate into action. It shdn't continue to uphold stasis, inertia & yt hegemony.
