January 2020: The Triplets of White Supremacy, White Fragility, and White Privilege

•

 

We start the new year off considering how these concepts reinforce and complement each other to benefit some at the expense of others. Without blame or shame, we will unpack each of these notions within the context of internalized entitlement, and share experiences of how these have shown up in each of our lives.

In preparation for the discussion we are attaching two brief papers that explore these concepts:

  1. White Privilege and Male Privilege, Peggy McIntosh
  2. Understanding Oppression and Privilege, Dena R. Samuels

Accessing the Forum
Please remember to come into the church from the large parking lot on the north side of the church that is accessible off of Glencoe St, that is just east of the church. The door to the church you should use is the one that opens onto that parking lot. If you have passengers with mobility difficulties, you can pull up to that entrance and then park in the lot or on the street. We will be meeting downstairs in the cafeteria. Go down the stairs on the right inside the door, or go acorss the vestibule and take the elevator in the short hallway to the lower level.Even though PHUMC is not now holding a family in sanctuary, security continues to be enhanced as we continue to be welcomed to use the building for our meetings.  We can only enter the building from the parking lot where someone will be there to open the door for us.  You may not be able to gain access if you are more than 45 minutes late.The Second Tuesday Race Forum meets on the second Tuesday of each month from September to June at the Park Hill United Methodist Church at Montview Blvd and Glencoe St. in Denver.
