Drained Pools

Waking Up White America
3/2/2021
How do you get your white friends and family to see that systemic racism is real and pervasive in America?
Talking about race is frowned upon in social circles. Racism is considered one of the three topics you shouldn't bring up if you want to have a civil conversation, along with politics and religion.

Georgia on my Mind
11/25/2020
Since the election, politicos have been riveted by the senate runoff campaigns in Georgia.
The fate of the Biden Harris administration hangs in the balance. Elect two Democrats and COVID relief, Criminal Justice Reform, and the protection of the Affordable Care Act are on the table. Fail and the nation falls victim to another round of potentially lethal Washington gridlock.
At the core of this fight is the runoff system - a relic of the Jim Crow system that is still working to...

Rant - Lame Political Answers to Racism Questions
11/1/2020
It was a softball question - essentially -
"Do you believe systemic racism exists and what do you want to do about it."
The answer pissed me off.

Racist Code : Dog Whistles
10/22/2020
Turn on cable news and listen closely. Soon you will notice the pundits repeating vicious sounding phrases. The phrases seem to hold a special power over those watching like a chant that unlocks hidden mysteries.

Killing me softly
10/16/2020
They are called microaggressions -
“I don’t see color!
“You don’t sound Black”
“You’re an impressive young man - so clean cut!”
This is abuse via a thousand paper cuts. These statements and others sound complimentary. Don’t be fooled. They cut deep, forcing Black people to make an awkward decision. Do I confront the subtle racist attack or smile and “go along to get along?”
As Allies, you have the power to stop these microaggressions. In this episode, we’ll talk about how.

The Making of an Antiracist
10/5/2020
Before I was an antiracist - I was a racist.
No, I wasn’t a confederate flag toting caricature you’re thinking of. I was an unwitting endorser and spreader of a popular racist idea. It took me years to understand how I’d been duped.
A good friend of mine said that racism in America is like the conveyer belt in airports. We are all on for the ride and the destination is a racist society. Doing nothing means you continue to move toward racism. We need to get off before we walk in the...
