Reading Text: Characteristics of White Supremacy
Tonight, Wednesday, March 26th, at 6pm PST we’ll be discussing Characteristics of White Supremacy by Tema Okun.
Only have time to do a little reading?
Here’s a link to a very handy, 2-page “Characteristics of White Supremacy” chart.
If you have time to do the main portion of the reading…
…the first one is the most important and then beyond that just go for reading whatever feels doable. It’s all on the same website, which is very comprehensive.
Read this page (this is the one we’ll be discussing, mainly): https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/characteristics.html

Incase you’re interested, here’s a longer version of all of the information presented above in one document.
Questions for closer reading:
Which of these characteristics have you seen an example of this month? What was your reaction, and how did it affect the situation/people where it happened?
Which of these characteristics had the most impact on you in your family home? How might this characteristic relate to larger social issues around racial and collective justice?
How might we work to shift away from these characteristics to something healthier for everyone? What are the skills and actions that would be needed?
Bonus question: How might some of these characteristics show up in “the witch world” and how could we work together to dismantle and overcome them?
