from Alaskan Native leaders: Stopping White supremacy behavior. It is important that Quakers learn about and stop White supremacy behavior that many people with European ancestry have unwittingly embraced because of the society we live in. These behaviors include, for example, automatically taking charge, filling silence with talking, disregarding elders and children, expressing urgency rather than letting things unfold in the right time, acting as if Western norms and ways of doing things are superior to other ways, and talking about good intentions as a way of explaining bad behavior. Alaskan Friends are often asked to become better at self-stopping White supremacy behavior “so that it isn’t so exhausting to be around you.” There is rare and hopeful work being done; and Quakers - everywhere - need to do our internal work.
