Anti-racism is real. It hasn’t been corrected and it won’t go away on its own. Aboriginal (Black) and Indigenous folks have carried the burden for far too long. It is time for white folks to take the next step and complete the mission.
Race For What? provides stories with a unique perspective from a white man’s experience and his idea for seven steps to healing. JD Mass PsyD, the author, encourages white people to work through the emotional and psychological obstacles in order to repair and heal the harm racism has caused.

AUTHOR
Growing up within a black community, witnessing racism firsthand, activist JD Mass PsyD tells of his successes and missteps in building powerful alliances with myelinated people. JD’s parents chose to raise him in the only diverse community in St. Louis where he was able to witness and experience racism and cultural differences. It sparked an inner desire to understand why we created such a world.
Don’t Move – Seek Understanding: We as white folks must take time to reflect on why we created a system of racism and what are our intentions – so we don’t keep doing harm.
Look past the surface
STEP 2
Acknowledge the Harm: White Supremacy Culture has not only harmed black folks and other melanated people. The design and practices to create and maintain WSC have been harmful to our ability to connect to one another and the earth.
Drop the weight of the pressure to maintain
STEP 3
Letting Go of Privilege, Power and Fear: Letting go allows us to open up to receive the gifts of the transformative process that is taking place.
Give credit where credit is due
STEP 4
Appreciate the Value of Others: We have been taught of our own superiority while ignoring the greatness that black and other indigenous cultures have contributed.
The benefits of healing is far greater than we know
STEP 5
Reparations: It is time to repair the harm. We cannot have humanity, justice, or the pursuit of happiness for all without the reparative part of the healing process.
We don’t know what we don’t know
STEP 6
Being Led By a New Mind: In order to create something different, we must approach and practice differently. This takes learning from a mindset that already demonstrates the humanity we seek.
Oh, what a feeling joy can bring
STEP 7
Manifesting Humanity: It is humanly possible to create a world that is harmonious with one another and the earth.
