[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ What? No it doesn't! You think that the only racism that's real racism is intentional and malicious? That's obviously not the only kind-- willful and intentional racism is probably a pretty small sliver of racism these days. That doesn't make unintended racism "not real racism," though. Is this why people freak out about being called racist-- you honestly think the only meaning of racist is "I don't like people of color/I proudly admit I think they're inferior to me?"”

We will have to agree to disagree. I agree that the unintentional slights and biases should be addressed to help shape a fairer society to live in. I strongly disagree with the premise that we should label those people as racists and think it is counter productive to the goal of working toward change.

Also Diangelo slams the phrase I very much agree with the “you get more flies with honey” approach of winning people to your side and to being open to change. [/quote]

It’s ok that you are in denial and angry. You’ll get there - it just takes time.

Hey, you posted a diagram of the "Cycle of Acceptance" which means that probably you're in therapy and your therapist has talked to you about it!  That's great news because you need the help.  Now go back and look at the section on Aggression.  Think about the things that you've talked about with your therapist when you're feeling aggressive.  Reflect on your posts here.  Think some more about what you've talked about in your sessions.  Maybe call for an early appointment.  When you've done those things, then come back and post here.  We'll wait ...   :lol: [/quote]
