Unlearning Circle on White Supremacy Cultural Characteristics

This Unlearning Circle is the first in a multi-month series that will explore how people, and white people in particular, have been racialized and socialized in white supremacy culture. We ground these circles in the work of Tema Okun and others, such as Kenneth Jones, and Daniel Buford of the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, who have outlined these characteristics. Our discussion will focus on how these aspects shape our cultural norms: how we think and act, and how they show up in our institutions and our communities. This month we will be discussing the characteristic of Sense of Urgency.
