Introduction

I live in Boston and have been active in local pro-democracy movements for over 10 years. Racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression are thriving in Boston, and I want to be part of a group of people that is committed to challenging that reality.

Did you believe racism has been erradicated?

No.

Did you believe that whiteness plays a major role in racism?

Yes.

Who is your favorite author that writes about racism? Why?

Tim Wise. As someone who has the privilege of being an educated, straight, white male, I can relate to him. I think he does a great job of exposing the way racism affects us day-to-day and also how we can challenge the dominant myths of "post-racial" America.
