3	AAVE - African-American Vernacular English:	African American Vernacular English (AAVE), also called African American English, Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV), is a type variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of the American English language. It is known colloquially as Ebonics (a portmanteau of "ebony" and "phonics"). With pronunciation that in some respects is common to Southern American English, the variety is spoken by many Blacks in the United States. AAVE shares many characteristics with various Creole English dialects spoken by Blacks in much of the world. AAVE also has pronunciation, grammatical structures, and vocabulary in common with various West African languages. Ebonics is not merely just the use of urban or "slang" words, but rather it is the manipulation and transformation of the English language.
4	African diaspora:	African Diaspora is the term commonly used to describe the mass dispersion of peoples from Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades, from the 1500s to the 1800s. This Diaspora took millions of people from Western and Central Africa to diﬀerent regions throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.
5	All Lives Matter:	A collective gaslighting from the white community; "All Lives Matter" reflects a view of "racial dismissal, ignoring, and denial". "'All Lives Matter' implies that all lives are equally at risk, and they're not". Founders of the Black Lives Matter movement have responded to criticism of the movement's exclusivity, saying, "#BlackLivesMatter doesn't mean your life isn't important – it means that Black lives, which are seen without value within White supremacy, are important to your liberation." See links as to why this should never ever be said.	https://www.vox.com/2016/7/11/12136140/black-all-lives-matter https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/black-lives-matter-all-lives-matter
6	BIPOC:	Black, Indigenous, People of Color.
7	Blackface:	Blackface is a term used in the United States for a form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non-black performers to represent a caricature of a black person. The term is also used in some other cultures for black makeup worn as part of folk traditions and disguising, not all of which are perceived as or originated as representations of black people, and hence there is controversy over whether or not they are racist. In the United States the practice gained popularity during the 19th century and contributed to the spread of racial stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon". By the middle of the century, blackface minstrel shows had become a distinctive American artform, translating formal works such as opera into popular terms for a general audience. Early in the 20th century, blackface branched off from the minstrel show and became a form in its own right. In the United States, blackface had largely fallen out of favor by the turn of the 21st century, and is now generally considered offensive, disrespectful, and racist, though the practice continues in other countries where it is not deemed offensive. Often in TV and video, Blackface, Yellowface and Brownface was used instead of having actors of the represented minorty play the part, further alienating POC. This whitewashing has now evolved from over Blackface, Yellowface and Brownface to having White people play parts that were originally written for/or as a POC, erasing the characters backstory and culture to suit what film companies think will sell.
8	Black Lives Matter:	Black Lives Matter is an international human rights movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. #BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
9	Black on Black Crime:	A talking point used to derail people that are speaking about police brutality and inequality. Notice no one speaks about white on white crime, Asian on Asian crime, Latino on Latino crime. Statistically, people that live in the same area will have a higher rate of crime committed by people that live close by.
10	Black Wall Street:	Former byname of the Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known for its prosperous African American business district. In 1921, a wave of racial violence destroyed an affluent African-American community, seen as a threat to white-dominated American capitalism. Full article 'The Devastation of Black Wall Street' in link:	https://daily.jstor.org/the-devastation-of-black-wall-street/
11	Blue Lives Matter:	Blue Lives Matter is a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statutes. State supporters of Blue Lives Matter are supporting a system of discriminatory policing and racial profiling.
12	"Call a Spade a Spade"	"Spade" is historically a derogatory code name for a Black person.
13	Centering: (also see White Feminism)	"This is the most common of all. White women get so caught up in how they feel in a moment of black women expressing themselves that they completely vacuum the energy, direction, and point of the conversation to themselves and their feelings. They start to explain why race is hard for them to talk about, what they think would be a better solution to the topic at hand, and perhaps what women of color can do to make it more palatable"- Rachel Cargle, Harpers Bazaar.

14	Code Switching:	Code switching is when a speaker alternates between two or more languages (or dialects or varieties of language) in one conversation. Since its inception, the term "code switching" has expanded to encapsulate any situation in which speakers finds themselves switching from one accepted vocabulary, cadence, style, or set of rules to another. Many African Americans describe playing different roles in different settings and with different micro-cultures, and talk about how they must be very careful to speak with an academic vocabulary and cadence in any interaction with a police officer. Video explanation:	https://youtu.be/4iRln2sRt9g
15	Colonialism:	the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Colonialism is the policy of a country seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process of colonisation, colonisers may impose their religion, economics, and other cultural practices on indigenous peoples. This is done by force or by being the first to discover a new nation.
16	Colorism:	Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination usually from members of the same race in which people are treated differently based on the social implications from cultural meanings attached to skin color. Colorism is discrimination against people because they have a darker complexion. Research has found extensive evidence of discrimination based on skin color in criminal justice, business, the economy, housing, health care, media, and politics in the United States and Europe. Lighter skin tones are seen as preferable in many countries in Africa, Asia and South America.
17	Cultural Appropriation:	Cultural appropriation, also called cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture by members of another culture. Cultural appropriation is most often seen when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures. This appropriation is a form of colonialism, making it different than acculturation, assimilation, or equal cultural exchange. When cultural elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture, these elements are used outside of their original cultural context, sometimes even against the expressly stated wishes of members of the originating culture.
18	Culture Vulture:	A person who cherry picks pieces of a culture and uses it to gain favor. This person tends to wear these pieces as a costume and will also discard these aspects when it's not popular anymore. Usually the aspects stolen are ones that Black people have been told are "ghetto" or "distasteful", however are lauded as unique or cool when someone not of the originating culture does/wears/ acts it.
19	"Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe"	"Catch a tiger by the toe" was not the original line. Instead of tiger, it was the N word.
20	Electoral College:	The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. Context (via Washington Post): "The electoral college makes all kinds of nightmare scenarios possible, even beyond the one in which Trump became president despite losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes." Context (via 'The Atlantic'): "What’s clear is that, more than two centuries after it was designed to empower southern whites, the Electoral College continues to do just that. The current system has a distinct, adverse impact on black voters, diluting their political power. Because the concentration of black people is highest in the South, their preferred presidential candidate is virtually assured to lose their home states’ electoral votes. Despite black voting patterns to the contrary, five of the six states whose populations are 25 percent or more black have been reliably red in recent presidential elections. Three of those states have not voted for a Democrat in more than four decades. Under the Electoral College, black votes are submerged."	https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/electoral-college-racist-origins/601918/
21	Emmett Till:	Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of accosting a white woman in her family's grocery store. The brutality of his murder and the fact that his killers were acquitted drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. Till posthumously became an icon of the civil rights movement. In September 1955, an all-white jury found Bryant and Milam not guilty of Till's kidnapping and murder. Protected against double jeopardy, the two men publicly admitted in a 1956 interview with Look magazine that they had killed Till. Till's murder was seen as a catalyst for the next phase of the civil rights movement. The woman who accused Till of whistling and grabbing her revealed that she had made the story up on her deathbed.
22	Gentrification:	Gentrification is a process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses; the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste. Gentrification often shifts a neighborhood's racial/ethnic composition and average household income by developing new, more expensive housing, businesses and improved resources. Gentrification can lead to population migration and displacement.
23	Indentured Servants:	Sometimes coined as "White slaves" or used for the "Irish people were slaves too" counter argument. These people often chose to become servants in the "new world" instead of being sentenced to prison or death. They experienced more freedoms than Black slaves, and when their sentence was up they were free to leave and start a new life.
24	Institutional Racism:	The systematic distribution of resources, power and opportunity in our society to the benefit of people who are white and the exclusion of people of color. “Systemic racism”, or “institutional racism”, refers to how ideas of white superiority are captured in everyday thinking at a systems level: taking in the big picture of how society operates, rather than looking at one-on-one interactions.These systems can include laws and regulations, but also unquestioned social systems. Systemic racism can stem from education, hiring practices or access. Institutional racism is distinguished from the bigotry or racial bias of individuals by the existence of systematic policies and practices within institutions that effectually disadvantage certain racial or ethnic groups. Institutional racism can only exist in institutions where the power to enforce and perpetuate policies and practices is invested in white people. There are many examples of how institutional racism continues to create inequities, including: Gap between richest and poorest, Food insecurity, Health & environmental justice, Youth incarceration.
25	Intersectionality:	Intersectionality, n. The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage; a theoretical approach based on such a premise. (Oxford Dictionary)
26	Invisible backpack:	A term created by scholar Peggy McIntosh to describe white privilege. She wrote, "I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was 'meant' to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks."	https://www.racialequitytools.org/resourcefiles/mcintosh.pdf
27	Japanese Internment Camps:	Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor and the ensuing war, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century.
28	Jim Crow:	the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws.
29	Jim Crow Laws:	Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by blacks during the Reconstruction period.
30	Juneteenth:	On June 19th 1865, almost two and half years after the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, enslaved African-Americans were informed of their liberation in Texas, the final former Confederate State where slavery was abolished, after the end of the American Civil War in April of that year. There's much speculation as to why there was the huge gap in announcing their freedom, they range from the killing of a messenger, Lincoln's lack of control in Confederate states, or slave owners wanting to wait until the cotton crop was picked.
31	Microaggression:	A statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority. Microaggressions are more than just insults, insensitive comments, or generalized jerky behavior. They're something very specific: the kinds of remarks, questions, or actions that are painful because they have to do with a person's membership in a group that's discriminated against or subject to stereotypes. And a key part of what makes them so disconcerting is that they happen casually, frequently, and often without any harm intended, in everyday life. Video explanation in link:	https://youtu.be/cPqVit6TJjw
32	Misogynoir:	A term used to describe misogyny directed at Black women where both race and gender are a factor in bias and prejudice. This term was coined by queer Black feminist Moya Bailey.
33	Nathan "Nearest" Green:	Born into slavery and emancipated after the Civil War, he is known as the master distiller who taught distilling techniques to Jack Daniel, founder of the Jack Daniel Tennessee whiskey distillery. Green was hired as the first master distiller for Jack Daniel Distillery, but not until after his death was he recognized as the first. During his time he was not given the proper titles on the account he was a black man, and he was the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States.
34	Non-Invasive Support:	"Offering non-invasive support means meeting one another right where we are—honoring each others' process, choices, beliefs, wants, and needs. It requires that we let go of any agenda we might have for someone else. This means completely detaching from another’s process, even if we see them making mistakes, choosing the hard way, wasting money, offending our beliefs, or going slower than we want them to. It is the act of stepping into being a supportive witness, instead of a valiant savior. For those who place high value on efficiency, like to solve problems, call others out, or be overly helpful, this stepping-back can require extra diligence. The non-invasive supporter says, “I see you. I believe in you. I trust your process and your ability to do this. I am cheering you on.”"- Sister.Is
35	Passing:	When a person's features allow them to pass as white, which then affords then different treatment and privileges.
36	Peanut Gallery:	In Vaudeville theatres, the "Peanut Gallery" was a name for the worst seats in the house - and where the Black people were forced to sit.
37	Performance Allyship:	When a person puts on a show to present as an ally, but actually does nothing for the cause. This person may also play the victim when it comes to race relations, and doesn't take responsibility for their own learnings. They expect to be rewarded and applauded for empty statements and risks nothing.
38	Prejudice:	preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.; Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions deriving from perceptions about race and/or skin colour.
39	Race Card:	Playing the race card is an idiomatic phrase that refers to the exploitation of either racist or anti-racist attitudes in the audience. Context: "The real point about race cards is that claiming their existence is itself deeply racist. The idea first seems to have entered the lexicon in the 1960s, when “the race card” was used to describe the ways in which right wing politicians weaponized fears about black people to gain votes.. These days, it is more frequently deployed to delegitimize the voices of people on the receiving end of those narratives. Either way, the one consistent thing seems to be that it always involves setting up people of colour to lose." ~Afua Hirsch - Full article:	https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/16/playing-the-race-card-racism-black-experience
40	Racial separatism	the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.
41	Racialization:	The process of socially constructing race through ascribing racial identities to a group, social practice, or relationship that did not define itself as such.
42	Racialized:	A person who is part of a group or social practice that has been ascribed a racial identity that did not define itself as such.
43	Racism:	prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.
44	Redlining:	In the United States and Canada, redlining is the systematic denial of various services by federal government agencies, local governments as well as the private sector, to residents of specific, most notably black, neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices.
45	Reverse Racism:	Not a real thing. The incorrectly perceived prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism on the basis of race directed against a member of a dominant or privileged racial group.	https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/kwzjvz/dear-white-people-please-stop-pretending-reverse-racism-is-real
46	Sealioning:	A form of online harassment or trolling consisting of persistently asking for evidence or persistently asking questions while maintaining a pretense of civility.
47	Settler Colonialism:	"Settler colonialism is a distinct type of colonialism that functions through the replacement of indigenous populations with an invasive settler society that, over time, develops a distinctive identity and sovereignty. Settler colonial states include Canada, the United States, Australia, and South Africa...Settler colonialism can be distinguished from other forms of colonialism – including classical or metropole colonialism, and neo-colonialism – by a number of key features. First, settler colonisers “come to stay”: unlike colonial agents such as traders, soldiers, or governors, settler collectives intend to permanently occupy and assert sovereignty over indigenous lands. Second, settler colonial invasion is a structure, not an event: settler colonialism persists in the ongoing elimination of indigenous populations, and the assertion of state sovereignty and juridical control over their lands. Despite notions of post-coloniality, settler colonial societies do not stop being colonial when political allegiance to the founding metropole is severed. Third, settler colonialism seeks its own end: unlike other types of colonialism in which the goal is to maintain colonial structures and imbalances in power between coloniser and colonised, settler colonisation trends towards the ending of colonial difference in the form of a supreme and unchallenged settler state and people. However, this is not a drive to decolonise, but rather an attempt to eliminate the challenges posed to settler sovereignty by indigenous peoples’ claims to land by eliminating indigenous peoples themselves and asserting false narratives and structures of settler belonging."	https://globalsocialtheory.org/concepts/settler-colonialism/
48	"Sold down the River"	This phrase originally referred to slaves who misbehaved and were sold (literally down the river) to Mississippi where they faced harsher conditions.
49	Spiritual Bypassing (see also White Feminism)	"The easiest way for white women to skirt around the realities of racism is to just “love and light it away”. When confronted with ways they have offended a marginalized group with their words or actions, they immediately start to demand unity and peace; painting those they harmed as aggressive, mean, or divisive."- Rachel Cargle	https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a22717725/what-is-toxic-white-feminism/
50	The Issue with the American National Anthem:	"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
51	The Talk:	A term used for the conversation older Black people have with the younger generation, usually a child, about racism an how to deal with different situations as a Black person. This usually includes how to deal with police to reduce chances of conflict and arrest.
52	The Windrush Scandal:	The Windrush scandal is a 2018 British political scandal concerning people who were wrongly detained, denied legal rights, threatened with deportation, and, in at least 83 cases,[1][2][3] wrongly deported from the UK by the Home Office. Many of those affected had been born British subjects and had arrived in the UK before 1973, particularly from Caribbean countries as members of the "Windrush generation"[4] (so named after the Empire Windrush, the ship that brought one of the first groups of West Indian migrants to the UK in 1948).[5] As well as those who were wrongly deported, an unknown number were wrongly detained, lost their jobs or homes, or were denied benefits or medical care to which they were entitled.[3] A number of long-term UK residents were wrongly refused re-entry to the UK, and a larger number were threatened with immediate deportation by the Home Office
53	Trail of Tears:	The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of approximately 60,000 Native Americans in the United States from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States, to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory. The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The relocated peoples suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their new designated reserve, and approximately 4,000 died before reaching their destinations or shortly after from disease. The forced removals included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, as well as their African slaves. The phrase "Trail of Tears" originates from a description of the removal of many Native American tribes, including the Cherokee Nation relocation in 1838. Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and later relocated farther west. State and local militias forced Native Americans who were relocated to march to their destinations. The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush. Approximately 2,000–8,000 of the 16,543 relocated Cherokee perished along the way.
54	Tone Policing: (see also White Feminism)	"This is when you value the delivery method more highly than the content of the message. It’s a means of distracting the community from a discussion of the real problem by pretending that you would have reacted differently if something something blah blah. If they hadn't broken a window. If they hadn't said racist. If they had used a nicer tone of voice. Please don't do this. It’s not a good look. You're probably going to have to trust me on this one at first because it doesn't seem, instinctively, that asking for people to reach out kindly is the wrong thing to do. It took me a while to figure it out too. But here’s the thing: if asking nicely not to be oppressed actually worked, we would have zero oppression right now."	https://crossknit.wordpress.com/2017/01/23/so-you-wanna-be-an-intersectional-feminist/
55	Tulsa Massacre:	The Tulsa race massacre (also called the Tulsa race riot, the Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921 took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It has been called "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history." The attack, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district – at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street".
56	Tuskegee study:	In the 40-year "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male" study was a major violation of ethical standards where researchers recruited Black males to watch the outcome of long-term untreated syphilis under the guise that participants were getting free health care. They knowingly failed to treat participants appropriately after penicillin was proven to be an effective treatment for syphilis and became widely available, leading to infections of partners and unborn children.
57	Whataboutism:	the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter accusation or raising a different issue; a rhetorical device that involves accusing others of offenses as a way of deflecting attention from one's own deeds.
58	White Feminism:	WIKIPEDIA: "White feminism is an epithet used to describe feminist theories that focus on the struggles of white women without addressing distinct forms of oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges." OR: "Toxic" White Feminism refers to the actions of ignorant White women who try to participate in racial justice movements, but without the adequate education, knowledge and self-awareness to do so appropriately and harmlessly- usually leading to them contributing to the overall problem (of reinforcing white supremacy, oppression of minorities and racial injustices), and not the solution. The "White Feminism" Playbook often includes Tone Policing, Spiritual Bypassing, Centering, and The White Saviour Complex.- See each of these specific terms for a more comprehensive picture of the complex issue that is (Toxic) White Feminism.	https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a22717725/what-is-toxic-white-feminism/
59	White Fragility:	discomfort and defensiveness on the part of a white person when confronted by information about racial inequality and injustice. "her indignant reaction comes off as the quintessential combination of white fragility and white privilege"
60	White Saviour Complex (also see White Feminism)	"Many white women insist that there is no way they could be part of the problem because of their extensive resume of what they've “done for you people.” Instead of listening to what the women of color are trying to express, they instead whip out the Nice Things I've Done For Black People In The Past, which often includes everything from “says hi to the black man next door every single morning” to “saved a black child through adoption and treats them just as nicely as my white children.” Source (Rachel Cargle)	https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a22717725/what-is-toxic-white-feminism/
61	White Slave Ownership:
62	White Supremacy	Video Explanation--->	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSrP6Sr-OW4
63	Xenophobia:	dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries; from the Greek xenos, meaning "stranger" or "foreigner", and phobos, meaning "fear", is the fear or hatred of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. Whereas racism means that a specific race dislikes and looks down upon other races because they feel superior, xenophobia actually means to fear or dislike other races, cultures, ways of life, and people not similar to one's own. This phobia can make people act out in response to uncomfortable situations that elicit strong emotional responses. This specific phobia is one of the few that can result in violence and abuse towards others.

AAVE - African-American Vernacular English:

African American Vernacular English (AAVE), also called African American English, Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV), is a type variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of the American English language. It is known colloquially as Ebonics (a portmanteau of "ebony" and "phonics"). With pronunciation that in some respects is common to Southern American English, the variety is spoken by many Blacks in the United States. AAVE shares many characteristics with various Creole English dialects spoken by Blacks in much of the world. AAVE also has pronunciation, grammatical structures, and vocabulary in common with various West African languages. Ebonics is not merely just the use of urban or "slang" words, but rather it is the manipulation and transformation of the English language.

African diaspora:

African Diaspora is the term commonly used to describe the mass dispersion of peoples from Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades, from the 1500s to the 1800s. This Diaspora took millions of people from Western and Central Africa to diﬀerent regions throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.

All Lives Matter:

A collective gaslighting from the white community; "All Lives Matter" reflects a view of "racial dismissal, ignoring, and denial". "'All Lives Matter' implies that all lives are equally at risk, and they're not". Founders of the Black Lives Matter movement have responded to criticism of the movement's exclusivity, saying, "#BlackLivesMatter doesn't mean your life isn't important – it means that Black lives, which are seen without value within White supremacy, are important to your liberation." See links as to why this should never ever be said.

Blackface:

Blackface is a term used in the United States for a form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non-black performers to represent a caricature of a black person. The term is also used in some other cultures for black makeup worn as part of folk traditions and disguising, not all of which are perceived as or originated as representations of black people, and hence there is controversy over whether or not they are racist.

In the United States the practice gained popularity during the 19th century and contributed to the spread of racial stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon". By the middle of the century, blackface minstrel shows had become a distinctive American artform, translating formal works such as opera into popular terms for a general audience. Early in the 20th century, blackface branched off from the minstrel show and became a form in its own right. In the United States, blackface had largely fallen out of favor by the turn of the 21st century, and is now generally considered offensive, disrespectful, and racist, though the practice continues in other countries where it is not deemed offensive. Often in TV and video, Blackface, Yellowface and Brownface was used instead of having actors of the represented minorty play the part, further alienating POC. This whitewashing has now evolved from over Blackface, Yellowface and Brownface to having White people play parts that were originally written for/or as a POC, erasing the characters backstory and culture to suit what film companies think will sell.

Black Lives Matter:

Black Lives Matter is an international human rights movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. #BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.

Black on Black Crime:

A talking point used to derail people that are speaking about police brutality and inequality. Notice no one speaks about white on white crime, Asian on Asian crime, Latino on Latino crime. Statistically, people that live in the same area will have a higher rate of crime committed by people that live close by.

10

Black Wall Street:

Former byname of the Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known for its prosperous African American business district. In 1921, a wave of racial violence destroyed an affluent African-American community, seen as a threat to white-dominated American capitalism.

Blue Lives Matter:

Blue Lives Matter is a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statutes. State supporters of Blue Lives Matter are supporting a system of discriminatory policing and racial profiling.

12

"Call a Spade a Spade"

"Spade" is historically a derogatory code name for a Black person.

13

Centering: (also see White Feminism)

"This is the most common of all. White women get so caught up in how they feel in a moment of black women expressing themselves that they completely vacuum the energy, direction, and point of the conversation to themselves and their feelings. They start to explain why race is hard for them to talk about, what they think would be a better solution to the topic at hand, and perhaps what women of color can do to make it more palatable"- Rachel Cargle, Harpers Bazaar.

Code Switching:

Code switching is when a speaker alternates between two or more languages (or dialects or varieties of language) in one conversation. Since its inception, the term "code switching" has expanded to encapsulate any situation in which speakers finds themselves switching from one accepted vocabulary, cadence, style, or set of rules to another. Many African Americans describe playing different roles in different settings and with different micro-cultures, and talk about how they must be very careful to speak with an academic vocabulary and cadence in any interaction with a police officer.

15

Colonialism:

the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Colonialism is the policy of a country seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process of colonisation, colonisers may impose their religion, economics, and other cultural practices on indigenous peoples. This is done by force or by being the first to discover a new nation.

16

Colorism:

Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination usually from members of the same race in which people are treated differently based on the social implications from cultural meanings attached to skin color. Colorism is discrimination against people because they have a darker complexion. Research has found extensive evidence of discrimination based on skin color in criminal justice, business, the economy, housing, health care, media, and politics in the United States and Europe. Lighter skin tones are seen as preferable in many countries in Africa, Asia and South America.

17

Cultural Appropriation:

Cultural appropriation, also called cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture by members of another culture. Cultural appropriation is most often seen when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures. This appropriation is a form of colonialism, making it different than acculturation, assimilation, or equal cultural exchange. When cultural elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture, these elements are used outside of their original cultural context, sometimes even against the expressly stated wishes of members of the originating culture.

18

Culture Vulture:

A person who cherry picks pieces of a culture and uses it to gain favor. This person tends to wear these pieces as a costume and will also discard these aspects when it's not popular anymore. Usually the aspects stolen are ones that Black people have been told are "ghetto" or "distasteful", however are lauded as unique or cool when someone not of the originating culture does/wears/ acts it.

19

"Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe"

"Catch a tiger by the toe" was not the original line. Instead of tiger, it was the N word.

20

Electoral College:

The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. Context (via Washington Post): "The electoral college makes all kinds of nightmare scenarios possible, even beyond the one in which Trump became president despite losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes." Context (via 'The Atlantic'): "What’s clear is that, more than two centuries after it was designed to empower southern whites, the Electoral College continues to do just that. The current system has a distinct, adverse impact on black voters, diluting their political power. Because the concentration of black people is highest in the South, their preferred presidential candidate is virtually assured to lose their home states’ electoral votes. Despite black voting patterns to the contrary, five of the six states whose populations are 25 percent or more black have been reliably red in recent presidential elections. Three of those states have not voted for a Democrat in more than four decades. Under the Electoral College, black votes are submerged."

21

Emmett Till:

Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of accosting a white woman in her family's grocery store. The brutality of his murder and the fact that his killers were acquitted drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. Till posthumously became an icon of the civil rights movement. In September 1955, an all-white jury found Bryant and Milam not guilty of Till's kidnapping and murder. Protected against double jeopardy, the two men publicly admitted in a 1956 interview with Look magazine that they had killed Till. Till's murder was seen as a catalyst for the next phase of the civil rights movement. The woman who accused Till of whistling and grabbing her revealed that she had made the story up on her deathbed.

22

Gentrification:

Gentrification is a process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses; the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste. Gentrification often shifts a neighborhood's racial/ethnic composition and average household income by developing new, more expensive housing, businesses and improved resources. Gentrification can lead to population migration and displacement.

23

Indentured Servants:

Sometimes coined as "White slaves" or used for the "Irish people were slaves too" counter argument. These people often chose to become servants in the "new world" instead of being sentenced to prison or death. They experienced more freedoms than Black slaves, and when their sentence was up they were free to leave and start a new life.

24

Institutional Racism:

The systematic distribution of resources, power and opportunity in our society to the benefit of people who are white and the exclusion of people of color. “Systemic racism”, or “institutional racism”, refers to how ideas of white superiority are captured in everyday thinking at a systems level: taking in the big picture of how society operates, rather than looking at one-on-one interactions.These systems can include laws and regulations, but also unquestioned social systems. Systemic racism can stem from education, hiring practices or access. Institutional racism is distinguished from the bigotry or racial bias of individuals by the existence of systematic policies and practices within institutions that effectually disadvantage certain racial or ethnic groups. Institutional racism can only exist in institutions where the power to enforce and perpetuate policies and practices is invested in white people. There are many examples of how institutional racism continues to create inequities, including: Gap between richest and poorest, Food insecurity, Health & environmental justice, Youth incarceration.

25

Intersectionality:

Intersectionality, n.
The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage; a theoretical approach based on such a premise. (Oxford Dictionary)

26

Invisible backpack:

A term created by scholar Peggy McIntosh to describe white privilege. She wrote, "I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was 'meant' to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks."

27

Japanese Internment Camps:

Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor and the ensuing war, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century.

28

Jim Crow:

the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws.

29

Jim Crow Laws:

Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by blacks during the Reconstruction period.

30

Juneteenth:

On June 19th 1865, almost two and half years after the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, enslaved African-Americans were informed of their liberation in Texas, the final former Confederate State where slavery was abolished, after the end of the American Civil War in April of that year. There's much speculation as to why there was the huge gap in announcing their freedom, they range from the killing of a messenger, Lincoln's lack of control in Confederate states, or slave owners wanting to wait until the cotton crop was picked.

31

Microaggression:

A statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority. Microaggressions are more than just insults, insensitive comments, or generalized jerky behavior. They're something very specific: the kinds of remarks, questions, or actions that are painful because they have to do with a person's membership in a group that's discriminated against or subject to stereotypes. And a key part of what makes them so disconcerting is that they happen casually, frequently, and often without any harm intended, in everyday life. Video explanation in link:

32

Misogynoir:

A term used to describe misogyny directed at Black women where both race and gender are a factor in bias and prejudice. This term was coined by queer Black feminist Moya Bailey.

33

Nathan "Nearest" Green:

Born into slavery and emancipated after the Civil War, he is known as the master distiller who taught distilling techniques to Jack Daniel, founder of the Jack Daniel Tennessee whiskey distillery. Green was hired as the first master distiller for Jack Daniel Distillery, but not until after his death was he recognized as the first. During his time he was not given the proper titles on the account he was a black man, and he was the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States.

34

Non-Invasive Support:

"Offering non-invasive support means meeting one another right where we are—honoring each others' process, choices, beliefs, wants, and needs. It requires that we let go of any agenda we might have for someone else. This means completely detaching from another’s process, even if we see them making mistakes, choosing the hard way, wasting money, offending our beliefs, or going slower than we want them to. It is the act of stepping into being a supportive witness, instead of a valiant savior. For those who place high value on efficiency, like to solve problems, call others out, or be overly helpful, this stepping-back can require extra diligence. The non-invasive supporter says, “I see you. I believe in you. I trust your process and your ability to do this. I am cheering you on.”"- Sister.Is

35

Passing:

When a person's features allow them to pass as white, which then affords then different treatment and privileges.

36

Peanut Gallery:

In Vaudeville theatres, the "Peanut Gallery" was a name for the worst seats in the house - and where the Black people were forced to sit.

37

Performance Allyship:

When a person puts on a show to present as an ally, but actually does nothing for the cause. This person may also play the victim when it comes to race relations, and doesn't take responsibility for their own learnings. They expect to be rewarded and applauded for empty statements and risks nothing.

38

Prejudice:

preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.; Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions deriving from perceptions about race and/or skin colour.

39

Race Card:

Playing the race card is an idiomatic phrase that refers to the exploitation of either racist or anti-racist attitudes in the audience. Context: "The real point about race cards is that claiming their existence is itself deeply racist. The idea first seems to have entered the lexicon in the 1960s, when “the race card” was used to describe the ways in which right wing politicians weaponized fears about black people to gain votes.. These days, it is more frequently deployed to delegitimize the voices of people on the receiving end of those narratives. Either way, the one consistent thing seems to be that it always involves setting up people of colour to lose." ~Afua Hirsch - Full article:

Racial separatism

A person who is part of a group or social practice that has been ascribed a racial identity that did not define itself as such.

43

Racism:

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.

44

Redlining:

In the United States and Canada, redlining is the systematic denial of various services by federal government agencies, local governments as well as the private sector, to residents of specific, most notably black, neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices.

45

46

Sealioning:

A form of online harassment or trolling consisting of persistently asking for evidence or persistently asking questions while maintaining a pretense of civility.

47

Settler Colonialism:

"Settler colonialism is a distinct type of colonialism that functions through the replacement of indigenous populations with an invasive settler society that, over time, develops a distinctive identity and sovereignty. Settler colonial states include Canada, the United States, Australia, and South Africa...Settler colonialism can be distinguished from other forms of colonialism – including classical or metropole colonialism, and neo-colonialism – by a number of key features. First, settler colonisers “come to stay”: unlike colonial agents such as traders, soldiers, or governors, settler collectives intend to permanently occupy and assert sovereignty over indigenous lands. Second, settler colonial invasion is a structure, not an event: settler colonialism persists in the ongoing elimination of indigenous populations, and the assertion of state sovereignty and juridical control over their lands. Despite notions of post-coloniality, settler colonial societies do not stop being colonial when political allegiance to the founding metropole is severed. Third, settler colonialism seeks its own end: unlike other types of colonialism in which the goal is to maintain colonial structures and imbalances in power between coloniser and colonised, settler colonisation trends towards the ending of colonial difference in the form of a supreme and unchallenged settler state and people. However, this is not a drive to decolonise, but rather an attempt to eliminate the challenges posed to settler sovereignty by indigenous peoples’ claims to land by eliminating indigenous peoples themselves and asserting false narratives and structures of settler belonging."

"Sold down the River"

This phrase originally referred to slaves who misbehaved and were sold (literally down the river) to Mississippi where they faced harsher conditions.

49

Spiritual Bypassing (see also White Feminism)

"The easiest way for white women to skirt around the realities of racism is to just “love and light it away”. When confronted with ways they have offended a marginalized group with their words or actions, they immediately start to demand unity and peace; painting those they harmed as aggressive, mean, or divisive."- Rachel Cargle

The Issue with the American National Anthem:

"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

51

The Talk:

A term used for the conversation older Black people have with the younger generation, usually a child, about racism an how to deal with different situations as a Black person. This usually includes how to deal with police to reduce chances of conflict and arrest.

52

The Windrush Scandal:

The Windrush scandal is a 2018 British political scandal concerning people who were wrongly detained, denied legal rights, threatened with deportation, and, in at least 83 cases,[1][2][3] wrongly deported from the UK by the Home Office. Many of those affected had been born British subjects and had arrived in the UK before 1973, particularly from Caribbean countries as members of the "Windrush generation"[4] (so named after the Empire Windrush, the ship that brought one of the first groups of West Indian migrants to the UK in 1948).[5]

As well as those who were wrongly deported, an unknown number were wrongly detained, lost their jobs or homes, or were denied benefits or medical care to which they were entitled.[3] A number of long-term UK residents were wrongly refused re-entry to the UK, and a larger number were threatened with immediate deportation by the Home Office

53

Trail of Tears:

The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of approximately 60,000 Native Americans in the United States from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States, to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory. The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The relocated peoples suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their new designated reserve, and approximately 4,000 died before reaching their destinations or shortly after from disease. The forced removals included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, as well as their African slaves. The phrase "Trail of Tears" originates from a description of the removal of many Native American tribes, including the Cherokee Nation relocation in 1838.

Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and later relocated farther west. State and local militias forced Native Americans who were relocated to march to their destinations. The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush. Approximately 2,000–8,000 of the 16,543 relocated Cherokee perished along the way.

54

Tone Policing: (see also White Feminism)

"This is when you value the delivery method more highly than the content of the message. It’s a means of distracting the community from a discussion of the real problem by pretending that you would have reacted differently if something something blah blah. If they hadn't broken a window. If they hadn't said racist. If they had used a nicer tone of voice. Please don't do this. It’s not a good look. You're probably going to have to trust me on this one at first because it doesn't seem, instinctively, that asking for people to reach out kindly is the wrong thing to do. It took me a while to figure it out too. But here’s the thing: if asking nicely not to be oppressed actually worked, we would have zero oppression right now."

55

Tulsa Massacre:

The Tulsa race massacre (also called the Tulsa race riot, the Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921 took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It has been called "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history." The attack, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district – at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street".

56

Tuskegee study:

In the 40-year "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male" study was a major violation of ethical standards where researchers recruited Black males to watch the outcome of long-term untreated syphilis under the guise that participants were getting free health care. They knowingly failed to treat participants appropriately after penicillin was proven to be an effective treatment for syphilis and became widely available, leading to infections of partners and unborn children.

57

Whataboutism:

the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter accusation or raising a different issue; a rhetorical device that involves accusing others of offenses as a way of deflecting attention from one's own deeds.

58

White Feminism:

WIKIPEDIA: "White feminism is an epithet used to describe feminist theories that focus on the struggles of white women without addressing distinct forms of oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges." OR: "Toxic" White Feminism refers to the actions of ignorant White women who try to participate in racial justice movements, but without the adequate education, knowledge and self-awareness to do so appropriately and harmlessly- usually leading to them contributing to the overall problem (of reinforcing white supremacy, oppression of minorities and racial injustices), and not the solution. The "White Feminism" Playbook often includes Tone Policing, Spiritual Bypassing, Centering, and The White Saviour Complex.- See each of these specific terms for a more comprehensive picture of the complex issue that is (Toxic) White Feminism.

59

White Fragility:

discomfort and defensiveness on the part of a white person when confronted by information about racial inequality and injustice.
"her indignant reaction comes off as the quintessential combination of white fragility and white privilege"

60

White Saviour Complex (also see White Feminism)

"Many white women insist that there is no way they could be part of the problem because of their extensive resume of what they've “done for you people.” Instead of listening to what the women of color are trying to express, they instead whip out the Nice Things I've Done For Black People In The Past, which often includes everything from “says hi to the black man next door every single morning” to “saved a black child through adoption and treats them just as nicely as my white children.” Source (Rachel Cargle)

63

Xenophobia:

dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries; from the Greek xenos, meaning "stranger" or "foreigner", and phobos, meaning "fear", is the fear or hatred of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. Whereas racism means that a specific race dislikes and looks down upon other races because they feel superior, xenophobia actually means to fear or dislike other races, cultures, ways of life, and people not similar to one's own. This phobia can make people act out in response to uncomfortable situations that elicit strong emotional responses. This specific phobia is one of the few that can result in violence and abuse towards others.

Geoffrey York`s acclaimed work spent 48 weeks on the Globe and Mail best-seller`s list as the country awoke to its astute observations and opinions. With a new chapter examining recent events involving Canada`s native population, The Dispossessed is still as relevant as ever.

1	This is by no means a bible. It is a guide. If you're not sure about something, please research. If you have a resource you would like to contribute, please email it to GoodNews@PleaseNotes.com and I will update it as soon as I can. Your individual growth is in your hands. For allies trying to figure out first steps, I suggest the L.E.A.P.S. System. Listen - Listen to Black people and People of Color. They have been living life through a lens you probably didn't know existed, and are able to see things you might of never noticed. Please pay attention. Listen to the way your body reacts, how you are feeling. Are you angry, upset, confused? Is your Ego fighting the new information? Notice and choose to open up. Educate Yourself - Asking Black people for resources all the time is exhausting. Please don't ask us to keep doing unpaid work. Take knowledge and spark discussion with your friends and family. Acknowledge - Understand that being Black is not a monolith, we all have different experiences. Understand that slavery and colonization were at the foundations of a lot of the systems we have in place today. They have had long lasting effects and continue to effect quality of life for all people of color. This includes colorism, beauty standards, access to finances etc etc. Participate - Jump in to study groups, online discussions, go to events around diversity and inclusion. Get out of your routine and go to events with new people. If you have no friends that are POC, you're missing out.    Support - Support with your dollar. Attend markets of Black-Owned Vendors, look online for Black business directories, give referrals and share contacts. Go to Black-led events If you're in the position to start grants and sponsorships, do so. If you've found this useful, please share. This is a living document, so please check back regularly. If you would like to show thanks with a donation, please check out the links below.
