Activity 4 (Thanksgiving Week): Talking with Family and Friends about Race and RacismSometimes it’s easy to talk to family members and friends about a sensitive issue like race, sometimes it’s harder because we fear rejection from loved ones if our opinions don’t match. But risk taking and vulnerability are also what strengthens intimacy among acquaintances. Start a conversation about a race related issue with family or friends. (Thanksgiving dinner might not be the best time for this, since it may cause indigestion, and I don’t want to ruin your holiday if you celebrate it.) In one paragraph, describe what you talked about, how it went, and whether you feel the conversation encourages or discourages you from having further conversations about race and racism.
