Bryan Massingale, “The Assumptions of White Privilege and What We Can Do About It”(Links to an external site.) (June 2020).
Brené Brown, interview with IbramKendi, “On How to Be an Antiracist”(Links to an external site.) (June 2020).
Question Prompt for Discussion:
Whenever white violence claims the life of another person of color in the United States, we often hear discussions of “accountability.”
In conversation with the authors assigned for this discussion, what do you think it means to “hold white people accountable?”
What does “accountability” involve, exactly?
Who holds white people accountable, and how should they they be held accountable? (The word “accountability” suggests that white people as a group are responsible for these acts of violence, even if they avoid “taking up” this responsibility voluntarily.)
