How does a specific encounter you have had with race or racial difference reflect on our course concepts

Order Instructions
This discussion will function as a short rough draft/peer review session for your CRITICAL SELF REFLECTION

In your initial post (150 Words), you should do these two things that you will need to do in order to complete your assignment:

How does a specific encounter you have had with race or racial difference reflect on our course concepts (pick 2) of racial privilege, systemic racial oppression, anti-racist activism, and/or implicit bias, etc?

In order to address this question, you should:

1) Narrate one encounter with race or a personal experience with race that provoked an insight that relates directly to what you have read/viewed in the first few lessons. In this first part, you should set the scene and use descriptive language (eg. vivid language that describes your emotions or the social interaction).

2) connect your personal experience to two different readings. You may refer to videos, but you need to make direct connections to readings, refer to specific quotations from the reading, elaborate on the meaning of those quotations in your own words and in relation to your specific experience with race.

Your Response post (100 Words) to one classmate should provide feedback. Please begin by stating why you thought their post was compelling or insightful or taught you something about race. Then, give them some direction on how to expand, clarify, or elaborate their ideas. You might direct them to a specific text or example that seemed to connect to their experience.
