A Community Conversation on White Nationalism

White nationalism is the belief that white people have their own racial and national identity (= what makes someone who they are) and should have the most power, authority, and rights in a country based on the idea that they are better in some way than people from other groups (adapted from Cambridge dictionary definition).

In America, we live in a white supremacist culture. This country was built on racist ideals that are still apparent today. Currently, we are witnessing white nationalism on a large scale in the rise of hate crimes and overt racist rhetoric. But there are also elements of white nationalism in our day-to-day interactions with each other. Today we are going to talk about how white nationalist mindsets and frameworks are at play in our own school community.

This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, expand our minds, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it’s coming up soon, so if you miss it, don’t fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
