Asian American Racial Justice Trainings Part 3: Coloniality, Anti-Blackness, & White Supremacy
Foundations: Coloniality, Anti-Blackness, & White Supremacy
We often think of racial stereotypes in isolation, but it is important to explore how these concepts connect. Racial stereotypes are interconnected and reproduced within a global system of white supremacy that creates our contemporary understandings of race.
Join us to learn more about how colonialism, anti-Blackness, and white supremacy interlock and propagate racial stereotypes and systemic racism.
All are welcome. We offer these trainings in order to equip you with histories and critical frameworks that can deepen the work of antiracism in your lives and in your communities. This three-part series intentionally integrates what is often left out of general racial justice education: Asian American experiences and decolonial values. They represent our beliefs and values as an organization and are the foundation for organizing emergent community-led labs for mutual care, community-building, collaboration and innovation.
