Letters to my white male friends / Dax-Devlon Ross. by Ross, Dax-Devlon. St. Martin's Press, 2021. Call #: 305.800973 R823L Subjects Race awareness.   Men, Black -- Washington (D.C.) -- Biography.   Racism -- United States.   Men, White -- United States -- Attitudes.   United States -- Race relations. ISBN:  9781250276834 (hc) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  230 p. ; 19 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 225-230). Summary:  "In A Letter to My White Male Friends, Dax-Devlon Ross speaks directly to the millions of middle-aged white men who are suddenly awakening to race and racism. Finally, white men are realizing that simply not being racist isn't enough to end racism. These men want deeper insight not only into how racism has harmed black people, but, for the first time, into how it has harmed them. They are beginning to see that racism warps us all. A Letter to My White Male Friends promises to help the millions of white men who have said they are committed to change and develop the capacity to see, feel and sustain that commitment so they can help secure racial justice for us all. In part 1, Dax-Devlon Ross helps readers understand what it meant to be America's first generation raised after the civil rights era. He explains how we were all educated with colorblind narratives and symbols that typically, albeit implicitly, privileged whiteness and denigrated blackness. He provides the context and color of his own experiences in white schools so that white men can revisit moments in their lives where racism was in the room even when they didn't see it enter. In part 2, Ross shows how learning to see the harm that racism did to him, and forgiving himself, gave him the empathy to see the harm it does to white people as well. In part 3, he offers white men direction so that they can take just action in their workplace, community, family, and, most importantly, in themselves, especially in the future when race is no longer in the spotlight"--Publisher.
