I was raised in the Jim Crow South. I'm working on a piece called How I learned I was a Racist, quite different from yours, but similar in the social context of how we fall into the sewer.
Definitely similar in social context - everything is intersectional! Discovering my internalized racism is actually what started a domino effect of epiphanies. My book about internalized racism, Muted Colours, is coming out in 2027!
It's been seen by several editors,, who say "it's beautifully written," but then "not for us." I believe we all need to study ourselves closely with an eye to what we grew up with, or we won't get out of this swamp.
This is the best article I've ever read on how we become bent to fit a social pattern. The very best.
Thank you! We’re so glad to hear that!
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad it resonated with you!
