Good Beginning
We have a lot of work to do. Individual efforts on the part of aggrieved individuals are good, but it's not entirely up to victims of interpersonal and structural racism to do all the work - we (white people) have to recognize our own shortcomings and actively seek to improve ourselves. Most of the scenarios in the course essentially consisted of white people making mistakes and then being taught by the recipients of their ill behavior. That's a good introduction to these concepts, but we need to do better than that. We can't wait until we act poorly and then passively expect someone else to come and show us the right way.

I completely agree, this is a starting point, but puts substantial ownership on individuals and particularly seems to rely on people advocating for themselves or their colleagues and does not explore a systematic and thoughtful approach to identifying opportunities for improvement at an organizational level.

Structural Shifts
I agree with the response above; it is a good starting point, but it has to be a top down model, we need to see a structural shift in the organization.

Good beginning
I agree with the above comment. It must be exhausting to have to continually respond to and educate people about their behavior. We need to slow down and think about the impact of pour words before we speak. Once spoken, they are out there forever and the hurt remains, even if we apologize.

I agree with the above comment. It has to be exhausting to continually respond to and educate people about their words and actions. We need to slow down and think about the consequences of our words before we speak, because once said, they can't be taken back.

Good Beginning
This was an effective beginning but it will have little impact if we don't take action when such incidents occur.

I appreciated this training and agree that the portrayals seemed to put a lot of the work on the victims and POC when the effort needs to be made by all.

I appreciated how it was emphasized that these scenarios are based on real incidents that happen within our system. I have sometimes heard the sentiment that racism isn't a problem at MGH and that simply isn't true.
