three key points for effective racial dialogue:1: racism and racial discrimination continues to put peopleof color at a significant disadvantageit039s theimportant starting point for any honest dialogue we have to understand the way things actual are rather than the way we039d like them to be historically and still todaythe evidence is overwhelminga huge nationwide study of 10s of 1000s of companies estimates conservatively that 13rd of the time when people of color are out on a job search they are the victims of discrimination that effects about a million to 12 million people of color a year that039s not a minor consideration so if we039re gonna to have a talking about housing or employment or education or wealth or the criminal justice system we have to start with the reality that the disparities are real and that in part they are significantly caused by racial discrimination that039s the starting pointthe biggest problem that we have to get over is quotwhite denialquot though and i say that as someone who has studied that for a long time even in the early 60s before the civil rights act was passed gallup polls found that 2 out of 3 white americans thought that black americans had fully equal opportunity now obviously that039s absurd but that039s what otherwise descent sane intelligent people thought even then sothe hurdle for a lot of white americans and even some folks of color is there but the evidence is the evidence i encourage people that are skeptical to look at the datathe footnotes look at the data and decide for themselves2: being color-blind or quotcolor mutequot is not an option julian bond civil rights legend really says it best quotto be blind to color is to be blind to the consequences of colorquot ie racism let me give you an example: if i039m a teacher right now in the state of arizona and i039ve got a lot of latino kids i can039t be quotcolorblindquot or blind to the role that their identity plays in their life because there are right now in the eyes of some not allunder suspicion as if they shouldn039t even be there as they don039t belong if i039m a teacher and i039m gonna meet the needs of those kids i039ve got to know where they are i can039t have this idealized version of life that says quotrace doesn039t matter to themquot because it does as a parent i have two kids if you don039t talk to children about racism both past and present they grow up they can look around and see the disparities they can see that who has what is often about color who lives where is often about color if you don039t provide the context for that you know what happens those kids grow up according to the research to believe that those disparities are a natural which is a dangerous thought or b that the folks on the bottom are there becausethey don039t try hard enough their bad people they aren039t as smart as the rest of us so really quotcolor blindnessquot or being quotcolor mutequot can actually feed racist perceptions 3: we all have a stake in combatting racism and racialinequality that is people of colors039 progress helpswhite people quotthis is critical especially for getting over that problem of white deniala lot of times weworry thatif people of color make progress it039s gonna hurt white folksthe fact isracial inequity is dangerous for all of us in about 303540 yearsabout half the uspopulation will be people of color the other half will be white people there is no way that we can maintain a healthy productive economy and society if one half of society has double the unemployment rate three times the poverty rate of the other half 110th the wealth 8 years less life expectancy double the infant mortality of the other halfwe must worry about the racial disparity of the other half and the racism that is in part responsible for thembecause otherwise the whole society is not going to functional because of the racial inequity of the other halfquothttp:wwwtimwiseorg201008tim-wise-on-cnn-newsroom-8910-key-points-for-ebrown eyes-blue eyes experiment - quotthe angry eyequot by ms jane elliot
