Fighting Racism: Fighting Racism as a White Ally

Footnotes with Jemar Tisby

Racism is not an ideology invented by people of African descent—people of European descent who are considered white hold that dubious distinction. So what is the role of white people in fighting racism? In part four of the Fighting Racism series, I talk with Shelley and David Park. They are the transracial adoptive parents of a son who is Black. They also composed a curriculum called “Let's Talk Race: A Beginners Guide to Conversations about Race.” In this 5-week course they talk to other white people about race. Delve into the definition of an ally and how white people can act in solidarity with Black people and other people of color.
