From Gorksi:
"
(1) Participants often are reluctant to volunteer to begin this activity, particularly when required to tell a story about how they have discriminated against somebody else. A good strategy is to tell your own story first. This will help with the trust factor as well.
(2) Make the point that we share stories about when we have discriminated against somebody else, not to feel guilty, but to better understand why we do such things.
(3) Be sure to differentiate for participants the experience of being discriminated against once in a specific context (I was the only white person in the club...), and the experience of being discriminated against consistently, every day. This can help participants understand the relationship between individual racist actions and systemic racism, and even how one is a symptom of the other."
