AVISO IMPORTANTE: La Arquidiócesis de Seattle ha publicado recién que un hombre se hace pasar como sacerdote y ha ofrecido ilícitamente misas en casas en la área de Vancouver.

Un abrazo virtual, Fr. Jaspers

8 Tips for Confronting Racism with Your
Friends and Colleagues
Posted on July 20, 2020 by Kristin Dollar in News & Press Shared by JustFaith Ministries At our July 9th national community gathering, Dr. Vicki
Vernon Lott spoke about the intersection between faith
and race, giving practical suggestions on what you can do
to seek racial justice. During the Q & A, someone asked:
“As a white person, how do I effectively confront my white
colleagues when I hear them speaking racist comments?”
Vicki responded, “that’s really a question for another
white person, but let me take a stab at it.” She then
helpfully suggested starting on common ground and
finding something on which you do agree, and then
helping that person to consider an alternative way of
thinking.
Both the question itself and Vicki’s answer were so
important and relevant that we wanted to continue the
conversation around this issue. As a white pastor having
served white congregations, I’ve fumbled my way through
many conversations around race and racism, and I thought
I’d share with you a few things I’ve learned from what has
worked (and not worked!) for me. These suggestions
originate from my own experience as a white person
speaking to other white people, and although I do hope
they will be helpful to those who are not white, I also
know that there are times in which people of color will
need to prioritize care for their own minds and spirits by
exiting the conversation. Fellow white folks, it is our job
to step up and to have hard conversations with our white
friends and colleagues, even when it’s not comfortable.
However, please note that the following suggestions are
for confronting well-meaning friends and colleagues
who are unaware that their actions are causing harm.
It is not for situations in which there is intentional
aggression involved, or if someone is being targeted.
These suggestions are also only step one in the process,
and if the racist behavior continues, you will need to
take more direct and strategic action (such as by
enlisting colleagues or office superiors, or, in some
situations, by calling out someone publicly or taking legal
action). 1. Be direct, but avoid shame. Shame usually leads to
embarrassment, which leads to defensiveness and
anger, sending people into fight-or-flight mode
instead of critically considering their behavior.
Consider using the “pay it forward” approach by
sharing how someone else helped open your own
eyes: “I used to share that assumption too, until a
friend shared with me why my assumption was both
untrue and hurtful” (then share the reasons why the
assumption is untrue and hurtful).
2. Seek clarification. Sometimes asking “what do you
mean by that?” will cause people to rethink their
words and realize the impact of their statement.
3. Explain why their behavior causes harm. Unless
someone is aware of how his/her words and actions
cause real harm to real people, he/she will probably
continue to think that “it was just a joke” and maybe
even say that you are being too sensitive. Use “I”
statements when possible.
4. “Call in” rather than “call out”: This distinction
has become popular on social media, and it seems to
be effective. Rather than talking down to your friend
or colleague by taking the role of the educator, let
him/her know that you wanted to have this
conversation because you care. Be a friend, and be
humble.
5. Cite your sources: For some reason, it sounds both
more convincing and more humble to say that you
read an article rather than pulling a fact out of thin
air.
6. Avoid loaded language. Even though words like
“microaggression” and “reparations” are extremely
important to the work of racial justice, these words
are commonly misunderstood. If you need to use
words like these, explain exactly what you mean by
them. Don’t leave interpretation to chance.
7. Channel Socrates. Continually asking “why do you
think that?” or “what makes you say that?” can help
people to recognize their false assumptions and flaws
in their logic without you even having to point it out
to them.
8. Simply say: “That is not my perspective.” And
then share your perspective. (This one originates
from advice Vicki gave on a facilitator training
webinar).
9. Follow up. After “calling in” your friend or
colleague, send an email or text to thank him/her for
the conversation, and invite him/her to continue
learning together. Maybe you could read and discuss
a book together or have a virtual watch party of a
relevant movie or documentary.
10. Know that you are planting a seed. After our
national gathering, Vicki sent us this message: “On
further reflection, in response to the question about
what White people can say to a racially insensitive
relative who is resistant to growth, I thought about
sowing a seed (Mark 4:3-9). In other words, you can
tell the person that you don’t appreciate their words
or deeds. That may be enough. You will have “sown
a seed,” that may wither on rocky ground, or be
eaten by the birds, or choked by thorns. But maybe it
fell on fertile soil that over time will germinate and
blossom into an open mind and heart. The point is
that you will not have been complicit by your
silence. Rather, you will have used your voice to
speak up for what is right and just. Sometimes, that
is all we can do, except to also have Faith that the
Spirit will take it from there.”
