At what age were you...?

How old were you when you had your first encounter/experience with racism? Were you an observer, on the receiving end of it or the perpetuator (whether intentionally or unintentionally)? What happened?

The Global West and Accountability

When does the Global West - including the US - take accountability and install restitution policies and programs for marginalized communities to close institutional gaps (i.e., economics, education, healthcare, social, political, etc.) imposed and upheld by them thorough historical means?

The Observer...

If an individual witnesses witnesses a racial act/situation and does not intervene - especially if harm is being done or it could escalate to becoming harmful - are they part of the problem? Should they be held accountable or viewed in the same light as the individual(s) perpetuating the racist acts?

A more perfect union?

What are willing to concede or give up in order for the United States to not be considered racist or having a “race problem?” What are you willing not to give up and why

Racial Shadows

Have you considered identifying the a parts of you that hold racial biases against different races? The ones that you hide and are scared to talk about?

Global or National Race Discussion?

Racism is a global phenome. Since the 1400s when Europeans began exploration - wherever they settled the construct of racism was instituted to oppress and control the indigenous populations.

Now that conversations such as reparations and land back are in the forefront (again), should accountability be held on a global level or confined to nations to be beholden to those they oppressed solely in their country?

Reconciliation vs Conciliation

When having the conversation about treaty right (i.e., land back) and reparations - which category do you feel it should be held under…? Reconciliation or Conciliation?

Stewardship and Racism

As land in the US (i.e. Turtle Island) has been occupied as early as the 1400 to 1500s - land distribution and usage has been controlled by Europeans (i.e. white citizens of the US). The Climate Crisis and pollution continues to rise exponentially despite the awareness and warnings of the planet being in a state of exponential danger and irreversible damage. There are climate groups, organizations and activists challenging the system and initiating repair as best as they can - YET - most of these entities refuse to include the Indigenous at the table on how to heal the land and or protect it. The Indigenous know the land the best, as well as the techniques and/or methods that need to be applied for planet/land regeneration. They have been here since Time Immemorial…

Are we as a nation willing to admit how racism plays a crucial role in why white led groups and organizations will not partner with Indigenous tribes, organizations and/or activists - or better yet - let them take the lead on land healing and repairs?

ICE and Race

Is ICE operating from an unbiased standpoint in arrests or are they targeting individuals solely on racial factors?

Christian Accountability with Racism

Should we as society expect those that proclaim to be Christians to address racism in the US - especially when they are witnesses to racial injustice?

Church Accountability?

When will the church be held accountable for its role in racism?

Fascism or Racism?

In your opinion - is what is happening on a presidential level (policies and laws) driven by racism or the administration wanting to be the sole ruler of the US?

Risk?

What are you willing to risk for a racist free society?

The US and its racial shadows.

What do you think is keeping the US from facing its racial shadows? Or do you think the US is fine the way it is with its race relations?

Executive Order: Change the Name Back (A football team's saga)?

The President of the United States is threatening to “restrict a stadium deal” if the Washington Commanders keep refusing to change their name back to the “R” word. This term is a racial slur against the Indigenous (Native Americans) in the US. Should executive power be able to use the power of the purse to influence the outcome of a business deal taking place in the institution of professional sports?

Racial Shadow Work™

Why are individuals afraid to do Racial Shadow Work™? Have you been doing yours?

Cultural Collapse

With the battle of culture clash taking place, can the United Stated of America withstand the collapse of an old cultural (i.e. colonial) paradigm?

What happens after they are gone?

How do we as a nation have “that future conversation” with our living descendants that ‘we allowed’ citizens and non-citizens to be deported due to policies created to target them legally due to biased racial “stereotypes” and beliefs?

The Battle over DEI

Since 2023 there has been this aggressive movement to dismantle DEI within US institutions. The aggression being displayed intentionally at education; from banning of books, creating policies to federally defund schools over DEI, to states to suppressing student protests on campuses and other moves, such as, getting rid of AP courses on ethnic studies.

Is the battle of DEI a necessary measure to sustain the peace in the US? Or could this action begin the fall of the union?

The President and Race

What role do you feel that the sitting president is supposed to play when it comes to addressing racism in the US?
