Book Discussion: Robin D’Angelo’s Book "Nice Racism"

On April 14, Friends gathered to discuss chapters 9 and 10: We Aren’t Actually That Nice” and “How White People Who Experience Other Oppressions Can Still Be Racist, or ‘But I’m a Minority Myself!’”. On May 26, we will discuss Chapters 11 and 12 (the book's final two chapters), “How Do You Make a White Progressive a Better Racist?" and "Niceness Is Not Courageous: How to Align Your Professed Values with Your Actual Practice."

 The Nice Racism book journey is a space for Friends to gather and support one another in a shared journey to address our complicity in white supremacist systems and internalized white supremacy, including the shame and fear many of us feel when we begin to do this work. We see anti-racism as a spiritual practice, dismantling systems of harm and moving us toward beloved community. If you are interested in participating, please email Jonathan Kennedy (jpkennedy24@outlook.com) or Margaret Benefiel (mbenefiel@executivesoul.com).
