Just because you're not committing violent acts of racism doesn't mean you aren't responsible for the persistence of racism.

Many think racism is only aggressive hateful acts done directly to races opposite their own.

But any action that projects inferiority onto another, makes suspicious assumptions, casts blanket statements, or believes/acts from a place of hate, all based on someone’s race, is racism.

Think back to the last time someone said or did something that was even slightly racist. What did you do?

Plenty of times we've found ourselves in that situation & out of fear of disrupting the flow of the moment, causing a scene, or whatever the reason is, we don't say anything.

That’s a bystander. That’s not who we’re called to be.

In our conversation today, we talk with Derrick Sier about 4 ways to not be a bystander.

What are you doing as a leader to engage with the topic of racial reconciliation?

It's been a year since the murder that ignited the prevalence of this conversation around the world.

When you look back on the things you set out to implement or accomplish around racial reconciliation did you accomplish them or did those things fade away?

For many, this is a huge topic and there's a lot of fear associated with saying something wrong or not knowing what to say at all.

If that's you, you're not alone.

In our conversation today, we share part 1 of our interview with Derrick Sier where he talks about the importance of creating spaces for people to share their ignorance & taking the initiative to build relationships.

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde George Flyod isimli siyahi vatandaşın bir polis memuru tarafından öldürülmesinin ardından başlayan olaylar, tüm dünyanın gündeminde ve ortalık durulmak bilmiyor. Deniz Yüce Başarır da Ben Okurum’da bu kez edebiyat aracılığıyla ırkçılığın, ayrımcılığın geçmişine bir göz atmak için yola çıkıyor. Yeraltı Demiryolu ve Nickel Çocukları adlı son iki romanıyla iki kez Pulitzer Edebiyat Ödülü’nün sahibi olan Colson Whitehead, 19. yüzyılda bir plantasyondan kaçmayı başaran köle kız Cora’nın hikayesini anlattığı başyapıtıyla bölümün odağına yerleşiyor. O dönemde Amerika’nın Kuzey eyaletlerinde yaşayan ve kölelik sisteminin bitmesi gerektiğini inanan insanların Güney’deki kölelere yardım elini uzatmak için kurdukları gizli bir örgütün adından yola çıkan Yeraltı Demiryolu sohbetin konusu. Başarır’a bu bölümde her iki kitabın da çevirmeni olan Begüm Kovulmaz eşlik ediyor. Ve Ben Okurum’da hep olduğu Başarır’ın seslendirdiği bölümler de dinleyenleri yazarın dünyasına davet ediyor. 

Sometimes even contrarians need a break from the news. Quinton and Sal dive back into the news to discuss the death of trust with news going back and forth from the WHO. 

The stock market returns to all time 50 best days. 

As riots continue in major cities because of police brutality, we discussed the possibilities of cities disbanding or defunding police and what that might look like.
