Really fantastic book by #ChrisCrass ... "Towards "The Other America": Anti-Racist Resources For White People Taking Action For Black Lives Matter". http://www.chriscrass.org/books.html "How I respond really depends on who the person is and where they are politically. For example, as a young person I would go head to head with right-wing people in my family and it was exhausting. Then I realized if my goal was to get my rightwing Grandpa to become an anti-racist, feminist, socialist, then I was setting myself up for failure and I wasn't going to be spending my time and energy wisely. So with my Grandpa, my goal became, how to make him a less effective racist, sexist, homophobe, and so on. Which meant rather than debate him at Thanksgiving and give him a platform that he commanded, I tried to use humor to disarm him and then put out ideas about white privilege and racism- not to convince him- but to engage other people in my family who I knew had different, more progressive values, to share what they thought. I tried to open space for other voices, and understood that debates with my Grandpa were for me to develop my own thinking rather than change his.
But often times people come to me and want to know how they can convince someone in their family who they love, but who they doggedly oppose politically. My response is that we need to spend less time trying to move people who aren't moveable and focus our energies on people around us who, in moments like the uprising in Ferguson, are actually moveable. People around us who are asking questions, who are open to learning more, who might want to do a demonstration but have never done anything like that before. Often we focus a lot of energy on jackasses and trolls; [meanwhile,] the people who are closer to us politically, but don't know how to get involved, are ignored. That said, in public debates or classroom settings, it is important to challenge such voice, but, again, from the perspective that the people you're really trying to move are the folks listening, not the jackass who denies that race is a factor in Ferguson."
