If you are ready to accept the challenge, a school in New York is like that.
The State University of New York Cortland Division is organizing a three-week cleanup of the United States.
Every Formal invitation, It “is open to all members of the State University of New York Cortland community, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or previous anti-racism work.”
Participants are “welcome to share challenges with friends and family”, but the activity’s Facebook group — And its diary-oriented “Reflection form“— Only available to attendees at the State University of New York Cortland.
How will everyone involved play a role: as an academy”Commitment to fairness,”It advocates”21 days anti-racism challenge. “
As you may know, anti-racism is completely different from not being a racist.
according to Kimberlé Crenshaw, a professor of law at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “Anti-racism is the active dismantling of institutions, privileges, and daily practices that strengthen and regulate the contemporary dimension of white rule.”
Does “structural racism” exist? Is racism deliberately designed into all institutions of the country, whose sinister goal is to harm people because they are not white?
Racism must have been institutionalized long ago. It seems that SUNY Cortland has found that our current state is the same.
It’s finally time to fix it.
From the site’s “How is my participation different?” part:
Change is difficult, especially when we look back at hundreds of years of structural and systemic inequality. The challenge is a way to get acquainted with the themes of privilege, oppression, equality, and social justice. By challenging yourself to learn and grow, you can inspire yourself to change-this can have a ripple effect in your home, workplace or school, community and other places.
Society must have evolved. Personality was once emphasized. The more modern situation seems to be that a person is defined by his or her race, and he or she must be “represented” by many other people with the same identity.
State University of New York Said the challenge will teach participants “how to better support black and underrepresented colleagues, students, and community members.”
Five additional benefits await:
- Learn and grow as individuals and communities
- Cultivate awareness, compassion and understanding
- Encourage dialogue around difficult topics
- Gain the power to deal with racial equality issues
- Begin to understand issues such as power, privilege, oppression, fairness, and social justice
Some people may say that fairness is inconsistent with the traditional school concept, or more accurately, it is inconsistent with the concept of grading.
Equity seeking Give everyone the same grades, Instead of letting everyone get different grades based on performance.
But it looks like the place we are going:

There will be one every day of the challenge Different themes.
Among them:
Day 7: Understanding permissions
Day 9: Black’s fate is also fate
Day 12: Cancellation of funding for the police
Day 14: Micro Attack
Day 19: Anti-racism and fairness in the workplace
Day 20: Racism and other “isms”.
Provide recommended reading and viewing.
As for “ism”:
For those who want to learn about privileges, here is:
Students will also read about How white people are made — “White people are one of the largest and longest-lasting scams in history.”
add:
read: 6 things white people say highlight their privileges
- “It is not my job to solve racism, because I am not a racist.”
- “I can’t see the color.”
- “If you haven’t done anything illegal, you don’t have to worry about the police.”
- “I don’t want to post about racism on social media because I am afraid of backlash.”
- “I don’t have white privileges.”
- “I’m not sure when I should start talking about racism with my children.”
Why is it 21 days?
The school stipulates this:
Some people say that it takes three weeks or 21 days to develop a new habit. Ideally, these 21 days will be the beginning of a lifetime commitment to equality for all.
Is 21 enough? There is a lot of information to be processed.
But if the plan is successful, those committed to fairness will be able to Install micro-attack, Abolish the policeAnd cancel Capitalism — That is, the ability of Americans to own their own businesses.
When they are finished, the world will definitely be different.
The way is different.
