Hey all!
I'm trying to put together some resources and possibly a community seminar to teach about unlearning racism specifically in the gay communities.
I'm looking for resources (do not have to be queer-specific) that anyone might find useful in learning about the roots of racism, hate, etc as well as resources for unlearning racism.
Ideally they would be web-based but all help appreciated!

Re: Unlearning Racism resources
Tue, May 31, 2005 - 12:31 AMUnpacking the Knapsack of White Privilege, by Peggy McIntosh.
She wrote this article years ago, and if you Google it I think you'll find not only an online copy of the article, but an entire anti-racism institute that has sprung up after being inspired by the article.
Also, and organization named ToDos (in Oakland, CA) used to do some good trainings, but I don't know if they're still around.

Tue, May 31, 2005 - 1:08 AMas far as non-web based resources, I would recommend:
"Uprooting Racism" by Paul Kivel
"Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria" by Beverly Daniel Tatum
and I would second that the Unpacking the Knapsack article is quite good.
