Lesson Overview

22.35 – Talking About Race With Your Friends: Race conversations with friends can feel awkward but are essential for growth. True friendship allows honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. Start by creating an open tone rather than a defensive one. Use “I” statements to share experiences instead of accusations. Listen to learn, not just to reply. When someone says something harmful, correct them kindly but clearly. People are more willing to grow when they don’t feel attacked. Remember, progress doesn’t require perfection—it requires patience. Every honest talk chips away at ignorance and strengthens bonds built on understanding. You might lose shallow friends, but deeper connections will form with those who value truth. Talking about race isn’t about blame—it’s about building trust strong enough to hold reality and compassion at the same time.
