Its idealistic to think this level of advocacy, competence and empathy exists in all organizations, and locations, however, its a nice model to at least address the racial trauma so many of use bear day in and day out.  And perhaps, it causes someone's perspective to be a little more inclusive or to be interested in other's experiences.

This course was very well made and it is eye-opening as well because this happens all the time. All of the different scenarios are very educational.

We should respect different cultures, different skin colors and different beliefs. I will practice what I preach.

I appreciated the lesson on always stopping to listen and the utilization of real scenarios from our institution. I would appreciate more opportunities to practice bystander training in person. I also think it's important to recognize that racism operates in ways that go well beyond interpersonal dynamics/microaggressions and requires structural change and ongoing institutional commitment.

I agree that it would be great if in person practice of these scenarios were available. It would be more beneficial to practice taking these actions.
