Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The Little River United Church of Christ is offering the United Church of Christ's adult curriculum, White Privilege: Let's Talk—A Resource for Transformational Dialogue (http://privilege.uccpages.org/). The curriculum is designed to invite church members to engage in safe, meaningful, substantive, and bold conversations on race. Gatherings and discussions began January 8 and continue weekly at 9:00 am.
The curriculum will lead participants through four areas of focus: telling the story of your spiritual journey through the lens of race; looking at the dynamic of a culture in which whiteness is the established norm; learning how America attaches a cash value to whiteness; and inviting the participants to commit to becoming an ally in the pursuit of racial equity. This is a seven week program. The remaining dates will be January 29, and February 5, 12, 19, and 26. We hope to see you there.
This is a downloadable resource in PDF format that's free of charge and can be used by any church regardless of size or budget. Contents include the Curriculum and a Lesson Outline provided by the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ.
Divided into four focused parts, each one introduces a different aspect of the dynamic of white privilege:
1. The Spiritual Autobiography Told Through the Lens of Race
2. Whiteness as the Norm: Five Loci of Insights on the Binary of Light/Dark and Black/White
3. The Cash Value of Whiteness or Whiteness as a Tax-Exempt Status
4. On Becoming an Ally
In all four parts, each author contributes a different view of the subject matter presented based on their unique personal experiences. The materials include questions for discussion and reflection.
I am wondering if there is a staff person at the UCC headquarters who we might be able to reach out to for guidance. We are planning this study as a Lenten adult ed offering. I am just not sure how to best facilitate it. I heard there are podcasts for Chapter 1, but can't find them. We are very excited about the study. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you so much!
OMG! Thank you, Thank you! I am humbled and honored that this resource is going be shared in our community! I truly believe what we are seeing in our Nation isn't a reflection of the majority. We have a "little leaven" attempting to ruin the whole lump. This work isn't going to be advanced until White America puts a voice on this social issue which births into social injustice. I can't wait to be at the table to get my soul fed! Thank you, Thank you!
And Smiling.. and carefully choosing their words when they talk "Race" with Blacks..and when they slip up..and their words are not perfectly P.C ..OR what the Blacks wants to hear..Its a Loud and Nasty Bitch Out On Them..!!
The Rest of Us Don't bother..We just keep our mouths cause its a waste of time..
We know we have to Tell it Like It Is Or F it..And IF we tell it like it is the shits still hitting the fan but Blacks know we are truthful and have more respect for us then The Smiling Head Nodding Libs who use and abuse blacks For a Pandering.."Take Um For Granted" Vote..
DAJAX We Can All get Along..Now Shut the Border On The Illegals Coming In..We can get along wit them too but It Just Aint RIGHT For Um To Think They Can Just Come On In The USA Illegally!!
Sorry we must face male privilege, most white people nor black
people have no understanding of universal disrespect for women. The church, yes it begins in places of worship, the insidious harm
women suffer. Even whoever designed this course is totally
oblivious of this serious problem all women face.!

Any group approaching you with the word "Christ" should be ignored. They're just making shit up after that. Trying to make you feel bad, like you should join their cause.

Guilt ridden liberal whites going through the motions to feel better. No thanks
Just wondering when did this trend start, lecturing Americans on diversity? It was long before Trump. As far as I know, most Americas were more than accepting of other cultures.
We adopted using English and Spanish in business and government forms, on voice mail options over 20 years ago. The police, county and schools have forever been writing and accommodating foreigners in all languages via hand outs, teaching in our public schools (at great additional expense) , and translators (in the police cases) Heck even tolerated the illegals.
Now we need to be lectured?
This is all a part of conditioning for the new world order. We lose our sovereignty in exchange for giving away our country, and the left who talks about FREEDOM is right in line. Fools.....
I am attending these classes so that I can better talk with my fellow human beings.
Because only through understanding can we communicate and learn to love each other.
By accepting white guilt and understanding black repression, I can hopefully talk him out of stabbing me with the big knife they all carry after he rapes me.

Whites have created the most sophisticated and beautiful clothing in the world. Let's see the clothes your kind has made.
Get your head out of your ass and start playing real politics. You become more and more unappealing when you continue to act like spoiled SJW children.
Talk Job, healthcare, and the economy. I am the fucking demographic you should be appealing to, a 30 year old white male in a swing state that went red.
