Today in class we learned the importance of challenging cultural normalcies.
Tim Wise, antiracist essayist, author and educator, gave a speech in Texas where he revealed many people believe that by discussing race, we are only deepening the racism. However, he argued that the past is not compartmentalized. The fact is most people believe that “the less we talk about it, the better the situation will be,” (Wise). Obviously, this is not the case. I highly recommend watching the entire speech, or just listening to anything he has to say since he is so well spoken!
