Coca Cola tells their employees to be less white

Nope. In my first advertising class, we had to write a paper about life from the first-person viewpoint of the opposite gender. It's about seeing the world from a totally different viewpoint in order to understand it better.

4 Robin DiAngelo quotes to better comprehend her message:

1.
"I would say that one of the most powerful messages of white superiority is the sense that there's absolutely no loss in a segregated life for white people. That most white people can go cradle to grave with few, if any, authentic, sustained cross racial relationships and with black people in particular.

And no one suggests they've lost anything of value. In fact, that will be the measure of the value of their schools and neighborhoods is the absence of black people. That is a powerful message. You know, nobody has to come out and say anything explicitly, but we all know what a good neighborhood is, and a good school, and we know what makes it good. And every moment that we reinforce that, we are internalizing the message of white supremacy."

2.
"I believe that white people are invested in racial inequality. It serves us. It's comfortable. It helps us navigate the barriers that we do face. I mean, I grew up poor, but I was also white and that shaped how I experienced poverty and also how I navigated and left poverty.

I can't talk about growing up poor without also talking about growing up white."

3.
"You know, I'm very clear that my work centers whiteness, and reinforces the centrality of the white worldview. You know, as I stand on stages every day being granted credibility and authority to my voice, like virtually every other person put in front of all of us. Granted, credibility and authority. I am reinforcing and centering whiteness.

I see it as kind of the master's tools dilemma. Audrey Lord's beautiful quote, how do you dismantle the master's house, when you only have the master's tools? The way I reconcile that is that, it is a both end.
