Un-Fair anti-racism campaign sparks dialogue in Duluth

Un-Fair anti-racism campaign sparks dialogue in Duluth Call it a continued simmer. The Un-Fair anti-racism campaign that launched in Duluth last month has created a lot of heat in the community, but two events Wednesday night spoke to the campaign’s goal of simply creating a conversation in the community.

About the Un-Fair Campaign

What is it? The Un-Fair Campaign was developed to look at racism and to encourage a community dialogue about the causes and solutions.

Reader's view: The Un-Fair Campaign invites misinterpretation

While I affirm the objective, the Un-Fair Campaign’s message leans on a comprehension of white privilege Duluth lacks. Particularly the slogan, “It’s hard to see racism if you’re white.” It invites misinterpretation.

Supporter's view: It’s nothing personal, it’s about the systems

The Peace Church Dismantling Racism team firmly believes an opportunity exists now for us as a community to do something we have been doing as a congregation for the past 10 years. The backlash over the launch of the anti-racism Un-Fair Campaign in Duluth last week is an opportunity to look in the mirror when it comes to issues of race and privilege.

Campaign's view: If we recognize racism, we can stop it

For those of us in the majority it can be hard to see racism.

Critic's view: Alienating the audience creates only anger

The Un-Fair Campaign against racism, launched last week in Duluth, is short-sighted and regressive — and alienating toward people it is trying to reach.

Reader's view: White people still deny racism’s existence

The Un-Fair Campaign, launched just last month, is timely.

Reader's view: Racist tactics are wrong way to fight racism

I was very shocked to see a war waged on racism using racial tactics.

Reader's view: It’s time to get out of our white cocoon

So often when I have attended an event in Duluth, especially one that focuses on social issues, the complaint is made, “We are only preaching to the choir.” Well, the Un-Fair Campaign has gone way beyond the choir, beyond the choir’s audience and into the whole community!

Racism easy to see with a little help

Racism easy to see with a little help ROBIN WASHINGTON: Chuck Horton was not at all thrilled with the Un-Fair Campaign when it started, but has since changed his view.

Local view: Racism hidden amid a lifetime of white privilege

It’s hard to see water when you’re a fish. A fish is surrounded by water — literally swimming in it. And so it is hard for a fish to really comprehend what it means to be out of water. How does one understand the buoyancy and softness of water without lying on hard, dry sand? How does one comprehend that others strive for and sometimes die from lack of water when one is instinctively inhaling it? Some fish might say, “I know how others live. I’ve peered above the surface and I get it. I see them bend their necks when they come to drink, so I understand thirst and yearning for water.”

Racism endures here, and campaign reminds us to stop it

SAM COOK: A few years ago, just a day or two after President Obama was elected, I walked into a northern Minnesota deer camp on assignment for the News Tribune. Within moments after welcoming me to the camp, one of the hunters looked at me and said, “Well, I guess they’ll be planting watermelons on the White House lawn now.”
