Dr. Skyler Jackson: Coping when people you care about say racist things

Dr. Skyler Jackson shares about the difficulty of coping when someone he cares about (and who cares about him) says things that are problematic. His story highlights the complexity that many People of Color face when trying to address racist problematic behavior with people they care about. Dr. Jackson’s perspective reveals the heavy, unfair burden People of Color and other oppressed individuals carry when they decide to do the work of addressing the problematic behavior. It also demonstrates the delicate and emotional nature of confronting racial prejudice when it arises from one’s friends, family members, mentors, and other loved ones—due to the ways shame can get in the way of listening, learning, and reconciliation. This segment was filmed when Dr. Jackson was a Counseling Psychology PhD student. Please consider subscribing to the channel and sharing this content.

About SPOKENproject: Resisting, surviving, healing from, and coping with racism through storytelling. Racism has been and continues to be a pressing social issue that threatens the mental , academic, vocational, economic, social, and physical health and safety of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Inspired by Audre Lorde and years of first-hand knowledge of the healing that comes in the form of and through our own storytelling, SPOKENproject aims to provide BIPOC a space to give voice to their experiences, share strategies for coping with racism, and find validation, support, and a sense of connection - and ultimately help to resist, deconstruct, and dismantle racism. "I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood."
