@OfficialMacroSW A3: I feel that this conversation could go right into white privilege and how some white people can be unaware that they possess it. As you stated, "good white person" can hold privileges and being unaware. This then causing issues when working with populations of color. #MacroSW

A2: My supervisor would address this by taking the child out of the home when the foster parent expressed discomfort. My question would be how do you handle this when white supremacy is present between the foster parent and foster child? #MacroSW

@OfficialMacroSW A2: My practice being with foster care, I saw some of the Black foster parents would be slow to take in a white foster child in fear of their being a disconnect because of race. There were instances where a white foster child was extremely racist towards their black foster parent

@OfficialMacroSW A1: An example that I could think of would be if a social worker has this mindset where they believe they are superior based on their race this can cause biases and distrust between them and the client. #MacroSW

@OfficialMacroSW A1: From what I've learned and experienced I would say that white supremacy is the status that white people have above other races in society. They are put on a "pedestal" where they have advantages over other races. #MacroSW
