Ijeoma Oluo
“This divide-and-conquer technique serves to redirect struggle against oppressive White Supremacy to competition between Asian Americans and other people of color.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo
“Disadvantaged white people are not erased by discussions of disadvantages facing people of color, just as brain cancer is not erased by talking about breast cancer. They are two different issues with two different treatments, and they require two different conversations.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo
“The definition of privilege is in reality much simpler than a lot of social justice discussions would have you believe. Privilege, in the social justice context, is an advantage or a set of advantages that you have that others do not. These privileges are not due 100 percent to your efforts (although your hard work may indeed have helped), and the benefits of these privileges are disproportionately large or at least partially undeserved when compared to what the privilege is for.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo
“Have these conversations, not just with people of other races—and I know that’s why the majority of you are reading this book. You should be having these conversations with people of your own race as well. White people—talk about race with other white people. Stop pretending that you are exempt from the day-to-day realities of race. Take some of the burden of racism off of people of color. Bring it into your life so that you can dismantle racism in the white spaces of your life that people of color can’t even reach. People of color, talk to your people about race. Feel the therapeutic effects of honest and safe conversation about race. Examine and confront your internalized racism. Make space to heal and rejuvenate.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo
“Racism is any prejudice against someone because of their race when those views are reinforced by systems of power.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race
