Today, we are joined by Dr. Jennifer Harvey to discuss the question of raising children who will grow up to have anti-racist values. If white parents cannot help their children make sense of racism, systemic oppression, and white supremacy, they will grow up to perpetuate this system rather than dismantle it.

Race-Conscious Parenting Race-conscious parenting affirms that we should notice race, and to recognize racism and racial injustice. It rejects colorblindness, which is essentially white silence. Race-conscious parenting embraces multicultural, multiracial communities and encourages children to be active participants in anti-racist engagement. Race-conscious parenting is a commitment to teach about racism and activate for racial justice. Smog of Racism Racism is like smog: it exists whether we notice it or not. It’s worse when we don’t realize it exists because then we do not counter it. It doesn’t take an adult to actively teach racism to children. White families often don’t realize or talk about the smog of racism, which creates a space for children to interpret the world themselves. They will draw their own conclusions when systems of injustice remain invisible to them. Health White Identity Healthy white identity in the US is anti-racist. It acknowledges the full history of the nation, both good and bad, from enslavement and genocide to the abolition and civil rights movements. It also rejects white guilt, minimizing vulnerability to white nationalist recruitment. Whites have agency to choose what kind of white person they want to be, reject racist legacies, and to work across racial lines to create a more just society for everyone. Find out more: The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey is an award-winning author, educator and public speaker. Her work focuses on ethics and race, gender, sexuality, activism, spirituality and politics—with particular attention to how religion shows up in these dimensions of our shared social life. Her greatest passion and longtime work, however, persistently and pointedly return to racial justice and white anti-racism. Her most recent books, Raising White Kids and Dear White Christians, take a decidedly practical turn. They bring her experience as an anti-racist activist and educator to bear on conversations about how white communities can more deeply support racial justice work being led by communities of color. She is also the author of Whiteness and Morality: Pursuing Racial Justice through Reparations and Sovereignty and a co-editor of Disrupting White Supremacy: White People on What We Need To Do. As our nation grapples with how to challenge and change white socialization to support anti-racist development in children and youth, she draws on her experience as both a seasoned activist and a parent to offer concrete and accessible models for doing so. Her work is rooted in evidence-based developmental theory, but also a relentless vision of a more just future in which all of us can flourish. You can follow her on Twitter @DrJenHarvey.

We are barely even scratching the surface here, with this conversation with Adelaide Lancaster, co-founder and director of strategy for the non-profit organization, We Stories. Based in St. Louis, We Stories aims to hold critical conversations with white families about race, racism, racial justice and health equity. The Two Jess(es) sit in the discomfort of their own realizations about their own racism, as Adelaide sheds light on what being racist actually means. Adelaide boldly brings stories of her own journey toward becoming anti-racist, and how that work has led her to creating a space for white families (in particular, but ALL are welcome!) to learn about the issues of racial injustice and inequality that they are contributing to. In less than one hour, Adelaide gives TTJ(es) a framework to use as they continue to talk to their children and white friends about racism. Holding space for each other in this uncomfortable moment, as well as for their brothers and sisters of color, Jess and Jess invite you to begin the work of necessary conversation in these moments of tension and refuse to stand complacent any longer. ***If you are a white parent who is looking for resources and support to start conversations about racial justice with your children, or continue the work you have been doing, this episode will be extremely helpful and beneficial to you.Show Notes:To find out more about We Stories:http://www.westories.org/Resources:Forward through Ferguson: https://forwardthroughferguson.org/The Conscious Kid: https://www.theconsciouskid.org/The Integrated Schools podcast: https://integratedschools.org/podcast/harvey/Raising White Kids by Jennifer Harvey: https://www.amazon.com/Raising-White-Kids-Bringing-Children/dp/1501878077/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria by Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD.https://www.amazon.com/Black-Kids-Sitting-Together-Cafeteria/dp/0465060684/ref=pd_bxgy_img_3/138-0936866-5128960?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0465060684&pd_rd_r=1bcd33fa-c2c3-48a6-b220-db325a3d45c0&pd_rd_w=SYw8C&pd_rd_wg=woJay&pf_rd_p=4e3f7fc3-00c8-46a6-a4db-8457e6319578&pf_rd_r=F34A6NTA07Z2A6VPHHW5&psc=1&refRID=F34A6NTA07Z2A6VPHHW5The Big Enough Company by Adelaide Lancaster and Amy Abrams: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Enough-Company-Businesses-Happier/dp/1591845602/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+big+enough+company&qid=1591572376&s=books&sr=1-1Meet Adelaide Lancaster- Co-Founder and Director of Strategy for We Stories:Adelaide Lancaster is the co-founder and Director of Strategy for We Stories, a St. Louis-based non-profit organization that engages White families to change the conversation about and build momentum towards racial jSupport the show (http://www.paypal.com)
Racial Color-Blindness & Diversity Training can't get us to MLK's Dream, but maybe Race-Conscious Parenting can. Jennifer Harvey is the author of Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America, with both practical & philosophical guidance for those who would like to make the dream real. Jennifer's Ph.D.
The Reverend, Dr. Jennifer Harvey is a parent, a writer, an educator, and an activist. Her 2018 book Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America offers age-appropriate insights for teaching children how to address racism when they encounter it and tackles tough questions about how to help white kids be mindful of racial relations while understanding their own identity and the role they can play for justice. We discuss the book, but also her personal journey from elementary school, where she was bussed under a court ordered desegregation plan to a predominately Black school, to her time at Union Seminary in New York, studying with the late, great Dr. James Cone. From the power of finding our shared humanity, to liberation we can all find in anti-racism, the importance of moving from thought to action, Dr. Harvey's insights feel incredibly important in this moment.

In this episode, I share a few paragraphs from chapter five in White Fragility about whether we can be a good person and racist at the same time. I share some information I've read from another book, Raising White Kids, as well.
Recently on Another View, we interviewed Dr. Jennifer Harvey, author of "Raising White Kids". In her book, Dr. Harvey implored white people to have authentic conversations with their children about race to teach them how to address racism and help them to be mindful of racial relations while understanding their own identity and the role they can play for justice. Our Round Table pundits take on this same issue from an African American perspective. What were our pundits taught about race at home, in church, in school? Did they pass along those same messages to their children, or did they teach them something different?
Dr. Jennifer Harvey, author of "Raising White Kids", talks about how white parents can teach their children how to address racism when they encounter it, and offers age-appropriate insight on how to help white kids be mindful of racial relations while understanding their own identity and the role they can play for justice. Join us for an important conversation for families and communities committed to equity and justice in a racially diverse yet tension-filled society.
On today's show: State budgets are starting to take shape in the legislature. We'll hear concerns from both sides of the aisle.

And author Jennifer Harvey talks about "Raising White Kids" in this week's Book Club.
This episode is in response to the MAGA teens from Covington Catholic High School interacting disrespectfully to an Indigenous elder. This story prompts a conversation about white supremacy, media, children/teens/minors, so this episode is dedicated to unpacking all those layers. I give my opinions on the incident and examine the complicated intersections of systemic oppression and how children participate in these systems. Lastly, I give concrete advice on how parents can raise children to dismantle white supremacy. I hope this can serve as a helpful resource to you.

Raising white kids is to raise children in a vexed location, at the intersection of whiteness and childhood. White children experience the smog of toxic white supremacy and yet are often silenced and rendered incapable of navigating racial tensions and build meaningful relationships with peers of color. Today, I invite Jennifer Harvey, the author of Raising White Kids to help shed some light on why parents of white kids should care about raising race conscious children, and how to begin doing this work. We begin by talking about the struggles for white kids and teens, not being able to celebrate whiteness, and having to deal with negative associations of being white (racist). We talk through some examples of racial encounters white kids may have, how to help support them through their racial development into healthy racial identity. This was an insightful and moving episode from a white parent who is trying to figure this out and offering her profound wisdom with heart. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

On today’s episode of Speak Out with Tim Wise, Tim speaks with Dr. Jennifer Harvey, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Drake University, and author of the new book, Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in Racially Unjust America (for which he provided the foreword). They’ll discuss the reasons why so many white parents avoid discussions of race with our kids, and the harm this silence ultimately does to our children's understanding of racial dynamics in America. The conversation explores the common (if well-meaning) mistakes often made by white parents, and why telling your kids “we’re all equal,” is not only unhelpful but actually detrimental to the creation of a more racially just society. They’ll discuss examples in their own lives, and interactions with their own kids, where racial issues came to the fore and how they handled those moments — for good and bad — and how parents can become more competent at fostering a healthy antiracist white identity development in their children, thereby helping to generate in those young white people a true sense of solidarity with peoples of color.
