Personal racism (isolated incidents, generally equal)
Overlooks policies and arrangements: “diseased tree”Structures (Competition rewards advantage. Privilege bestows advantage, social reproduction)Institutions (White supremacy, Brown v. Board, School to Prison) -Paul Hirshfield, Preparing for Prison: The Criminalization of School Discipline in the USACumulative causation (multisystemic inequity, doll test)

privilege) – Any thoughts of superiority
over others• Institutions (institutional
oppression)– Police brutality– “ism’s”

What does oppression look like?• Negative presupposition
• Escalation• Ultimatums• Leverage power and
authority• Threats of consequences• Deny them a ‘choice or a
voice’• Forget they are children• Refuse to apologize• Treat them like adults• Intimidate them• Fail to hold them accountable
• Black boys are limited culturally, in what they can express and how they can express it
• Care, concern, fear, hurt, sadness, shame, embarrassment,
• Most of our students are acutely aware of their positioning in U.S. society (social reproduction) which is the bottom.

Building Relationships1. Address your fear of students

3. Look at your personal biases, prejudices, dislikes and pet peeves
4. Examine your motivations for being here
5. What kind of student were you? Good or bad? Did you get in trouble or suspended?

Culturally Responsive Strategies1. Be clear about who you are:
(race, class, gender, etc.) because it speaks more than what you say –Sharroky Hollie, Culturally Responsive
2. Be Student Centered: Their class or your class, their assignment or your assignment, their education or your education? Are you facilitator or Director of learning?
3. Cultural Consultation: Consult someone who is in the business of addressing a particular group

Empathy Activity
You should not present yourself to students everyday unless you can do the following.
Imagine the following: 1. Your teacher being afraid of you and as a result unable
to comfort you appropriately 2. Never feeling safe when you see the police even when
they are there to “help” 3. Any enthusiasm that you express being interpreted as
aggressive or even violent4. Passion or excitement that you express being cast as
sexually deviant5. People not getting on the elevator with you or getting
off as soon as you get on OR moving to the corner, grabbing purse and avoiding eye contact at all costs
6. People treat you as if you are going to steal something7. Not being allowed to be angry without being viewed as
dangerous
