What's Up With Whiteness Wednesdays (WUWWW)

Every Wednesday from September 2016 until January 2017

WUWW!?! What's Up with Whiteness Wednesdays is an ongoing ASURJ series endeavoring to dismantle white supremacy. 

The "Title Track" part of the WUWW series will generally repeat on the first Wednesday of the month. What's Up with Whiteness functions to explore what "white" means, and how it was created as a racial group to implement a white supremacy culture in the United States. This group is for anyone who is willing and able to explore their whiteness or whiteness as a race with a racial justice lens. We aim to dismantle white supremacy's power by exploring it from the inside. We will: 

  • Educate ourselves and each other about the political and social origins of “whiteness”
  • Educate ourselves and each other on white supremacy culture functions 
  • Hold our personal experiences and benefits from whiteness accountable and responsible for change
  • Build skills to address internalized dominance and make change 
  • Build relationships with others to further imbue these lessons and build accountability
