His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\"I'm going to assume most white progressives would acknowledge structural racism. And yet individually, most white people will say, 'I'm not racist. I have nothing to do with it,'\" says Robin DiAngelo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DiAngelo, a San Francisco-born social justice educator, is the author of \"White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism\". Her exploration of white people's defensiveness in the face of their own biases was originally published back in 2018, but after ongoing protests against the killing of George Floyd and other Black people at the hands of police, the book was included in many recent reading lists on race. It's now #1 on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/combined-print-and-e-book-nonfiction/\">The New York Times nonfiction best sellers list\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To DiAngelo, white people's unwillingness to see themselves as complicit in a racist system \u003cem>— \u003c/em>and their ensuing \"fragility\" on the subject \u003cem>— \u003c/em>is actively hampering the anti-racism movement. As she says, true progress can come only when they acknowledge their own biases. \"That idea that 'I'm not racist,'\" she said, \"is not \u003cem>changing\u003c/em> racism. We have to come from a fundamentally different paradigm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DiAngelo \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101878145/white-fragility-author-robin-diangelo-on-what-white-people-can-do-to-address-racism\">appeared on KQED Forum \u003c/a>to discuss how admitting to ingrained racism can be \"liberating,\" what's wrong with the term \"ally,\" why poverty doesn't cancel out privilege and why white people need to \"get uncomfortable,\" as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and brevity\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why focus on the idea of 'white fragility'?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 'fragility' aspect speaks to how little it takes to cause so many white people to erupt in that kind of defensiveness and anger. And for many white people, just \u003cem>using\u003c/em> the term 'white people,' proceeding as if we could know anything about anyone 'just because they're white,' will cause that. What I think of as a 'meltdown,' but it's not fragile at all in its \u003cem>impact — \u003c/em>because it marshals behind it the weight of history and legal authority and institutional control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, all white people are complicit with racism. There will be umbrage and upset. People will insist that they are not racist. That I don't know them ... 'I've traveled a lot. I speak lots of languages ... I had a Black roommate in college. I'm a minority myself.' This is the kind of evidence that many white people used to exempt themselves from that system. It's not \u003cem>possible\u003c/em> to be exempt from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And actually, that's liberating. It's liberating to start from that premise because then you can change your question from '\u003cem>if\u003c/em> I'm complicit with racism' ... to 'how am I complicit?' That sets you on a lifelong path.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On why she doesn't call herself 'an ally'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Of course, I strive to \u003cem>be\u003c/em> an ally, but I do not \u003cem>call\u003c/em> myself an ally. I don't even call myself 'an anti-racist white person.' I say that I'm 'involved in anti-racist work,' because that really is for people of color to decide if, at any given moment, I'm actually \u003cem>behaving\u003c/em> in anti-racist ways. I am the \u003cem>least\u003c/em> qualified to make that determination; the \u003cem>most\u003c/em> invested in actually not seeing the ways I may be complicit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11822854\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11822854\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/002_KQED_Oakland_GeorgeFloydProtest_06032020.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/002_KQED_Oakland_GeorgeFloydProtest_06032020.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/002_KQED_Oakland_GeorgeFloydProtest_06032020-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/002_KQED_Oakland_GeorgeFloydProtest_06032020-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/002_KQED_Oakland_GeorgeFloydProtest_06032020-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ashley Williams and Dujuanna Archable stand during a protest against police violence at 14th and Broadway in Oakland on June 3, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for those striving to 'be an ally,' I'm always going to turn it back to you.

And she says, 'you know, when I hear white people say that, what I'm thinking is this is a dangerous white person. This is a white person who's going to deny my reality, who will have no critical thinking about race, who will have no self-awareness about how their own race shapes other experiences in the world. This is not conveying that this person is a safe person.'\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On why the idea of 'white guilt' is unproductive\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I am clear that as a result of being raised in this society, I have a racist worldview. There's simply no way I did not absorb that. I have racist biases. I have racist behaviors at times and I also have an investment in the status quo — which is racism — because it's comfortable and because it has served me. It has impacted the outcome of my efforts and it has impacted my ability to manage the struggles that I do face, because, of course, I face struggles, but \u003cem>not racism\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I don't feel guilty about anything I just admitted to. I didn't choose that socialization ... What I feel is responsible for the outcome of that socialization. How is that manifesting in my life? And if you're living in a neighborhood in Oakland that is diverse, it is most likely in the process of gentrification. And if you're insisting that, 'we're all one and we just need to see each other as one,' it just reminds me of standing [next to] a Black man once, and a white woman said to him, 'I don't even see you as Black!' And his response was, 'Well, then how are you going to see racism? Because I \u003cem>am\u003c/em> Black. I know that you see that. And I'm having a different experience than you are.'\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why white people's personal circumstances don't cancel out white privilege\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I was raised in poverty [in the Bay Area] and I mean that explicitly ... homelessness, periods of living in our car, periods of foster care.

I knew that it was \u003cem>better\u003c/em> to be white, and that being white is a large part of what helped me navigate poverty and classism. I don't have less racial privilege because I grew up poor. Now, I don't have \u003cem>more\u003c/em> either. I just learned my place in the racial hierarchy from a different class position than I would had I been middle class. But I \u003cem>learned\u003c/em> it.

And yet individually, most white people will say, 'I'm not racist. I have nothing to do with it,'\" says Robin DiAngelo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DiAngelo, a San Francisco-born social justice educator, is the author of \"White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism\". Her exploration of white people's defensiveness in the face of their own biases was originally published back in 2018, but after ongoing protests against the killing of George Floyd and other Black people at the hands of police, the book was included in many recent reading lists on race. It's now #1 on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/combined-print-and-e-book-nonfiction/\">The New York Times nonfiction best sellers list\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To DiAngelo, white people's unwillingness to see themselves as complicit in a racist system \u003cem>— \u003c/em>and their ensuing \"fragility\" on the subject \u003cem>— \u003c/em>is actively hampering the anti-racism movement. As she says, true progress can come only when they acknowledge their own biases. \"That idea that 'I'm not racist,'\" she said, \"is not \u003cem>changing\u003c/em> racism. We have to come from a fundamentally different paradigm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DiAngelo \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101878145/white-fragility-author-robin-diangelo-on-what-white-people-can-do-to-address-racism\">appeared on KQED Forum \u003c/a>to discuss how admitting to ingrained racism can be \"liberating,\" what's wrong with the term \"ally,\" why poverty doesn't cancel out privilege and why white people need to \"get uncomfortable,\" as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and brevity\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why focus on the idea of 'white fragility'?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 'fragility' aspect speaks to how little it takes to cause so many white people to erupt in that kind of defensiveness and anger. And for many white people, just \u003cem>using\u003c/em> the term 'white people,' proceeding as if we could know anything about anyone 'just because they're white,' will cause that. What I think of as a 'meltdown,' but it's not fragile at all in its \u003cem>impact — \u003c/em>because it marshals behind it the weight of history and legal authority and institutional control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That I don't know them ... 'I've traveled a lot. I speak lots of languages ... I had a Black roommate in college. I'm a minority myself.' This is the kind of evidence that many white people used to exempt themselves from that system. It's not \u003cem>possible\u003c/em> to be exempt from it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And actually, that's liberating. It's liberating to start from that premise because then you can change your question from '\u003cem>if\u003c/em> I'm complicit with racism' ... to 'how am I complicit?'

I don't even call myself 'an anti-racist white person.' I say that I'm 'involved in anti-racist work,' because that really is for people of color to decide if, at any given moment, I'm actually \u003cem>behaving\u003c/em> in anti-racist ways.

And she says, 'you know, when I hear white people say that, what I'm thinking is this is a dangerous white person. This is a white person who's going to deny my reality, who will have no critical thinking about race, who will have no self-awareness about how their own race shapes other experiences in the world.

There's simply no way I did not absorb that. I have racist biases. I have racist behaviors at times and I also have an investment in the status quo — which is racism — because it's comfortable and because it has served me. It has impacted the outcome of my efforts and it has impacted my ability to manage the struggles that I do face, because, of course, I face struggles, but \u003cem>not racism\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I don't feel guilty about anything I just admitted to. I didn't choose that socialization ... What I feel is responsible for the outcome of that socialization. How is that manifesting in my life? And if you're living in a neighborhood in Oakland that is diverse, it is most likely in the process of gentrification. And if you're insisting that, 'we're all one and we just need to see each other as one,' it just reminds me of standing [next to] a Black man once, and a white woman said to him, 'I don't even see you as Black!' And his response was, 'Well, then how are you going to see racism? Because I \u003cem>am\u003c/em> Black. I know that you see that.

Wealth is power, we have the ability to withhold that power. We have the ability to withhold on labor, and shut shit down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't want to just ask for things to get better. We wanna say 'it's going to get better or else,’” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies, Riley said, were “scared” of the threat of work stoppages. “Wherever you work, wherever you are during the day, that's where you need to be organizing — because we need to be able to shut this down. We need to show them we ain't asking, we're \u003cem>telling\u003c/em>.

Nobody’s no different. We’re taught race, color, hate,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her own reasons for coming to the protest, Cotton said, “My great-grandmother’s mother was a slave. My great-grandmother worked in the fields. This reaches back to me in heritage, what’s been happening for years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cameron Hamilton from Richmond, another ILWU Local 10 member, commented on the energy he saw in the rally, on the vibe: “People seem fierce. People seem energized, but at the same time calm, like they’ve done it before, like it’s second nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shutdown meant Hamilton and his fellow union members were going without pay for the day, he confirmed — but that choosing to do so was “not a hard decision.” Labor, he said, has \"the people power, funds and infrastructure to lead a movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LinaBlanco/status/1274059418770927616\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MGreenKQED/status/1274060077540929536\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the demonstration, relatives of people killed by police spoke to those assembled.

Williams explained he wanted his kids to witness firsthand \"how injustice can bring people together to create justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said he also wanted to make sure his family \"understands the political and historical effects of racism ...

Wealth is power, we have the ability to withhold that power. We have the ability to withhold on labor, and shut shit down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't want to just ask for things to get better. We wanna say 'it's going to get better or else,’” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies, Riley said, were “scared” of the threat of work stoppages. “Wherever you work, wherever you are during the day, that's where you need to be organizing — because we need to be able to shut this down.

Monuments to men who advocated cruelty and barbarism to achieve such a plainly racist end are a grotesque affront to these ideals. Their statues pay homage to hate, not heritage. They must be removed,” Pelosi wrote in the letter addressed to committee Chair Roy Blunt and Vice Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s letter is the latest high-profile consideration of the Confederacy and its monuments’ visibility in public spaces.

They’re also requesting an injunction that would ban Oakland police from using crowd control weapons like tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges OPD knowingly broke their own\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823008/calls-grow-for-oakland-police-to-halt-the-use-of-tear-gas\"> court-ordered crowd control policies\u003c/a>, which stipulate that physical force be used only as a last resort. It states that protesters were tear gassed, hit directly by rubber bullets and burned by flash-bang grenades while they were walking alway from a peaceful demonstration in downtown Oakland on June 1, well before the city’s 8 p.m. curfew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the burden of proof to meet all of the claims made in the complaint will be hard to reach, said Robert Weisberg, a law professor at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Growing up in San Francisco, Muni was part of the fabric of life: going to school, going to work and, yes, part of being arrested after a protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1991, a young, junior high school-aged Simon took a 38-Geary Muni bus from Presidio Middle School to an anti-Iraq war protest downtown.

When detainees from a demonstration were loaded by the New York Police Department onto a city bus, the driver walked off, refusing to transport the protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crowds at Barclays Center, where the protesters were arrested, wildly cheered for the driver.

The driver did not walk off, and on social media the agency was perceived as against protesters demanding the defense of black lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those self-described transit “geeks” against the practice is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/_DaveSquare\">David Sorrell\u003c/a>, a UC Berkeley transit administrator. Sorrell, who is black, told KQED his industry is predominantly white, male and of an older generation. Sorrell grew up in Chicago without access to a car, so his love of buses and trains grew from a young age. He saw the world from the window of a train. In that light, Sorrell called Muni transporting police to a local protest “infuriating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From an optics standpoint, and from a personal standpoint, it’s disappointing that the one thing that is supposed to connect our communities together is being used as a tool to stifle our freedoms of speech and assembly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorrell was not the only one to express outrage online. Chris Arvin is a prominent figure in the world of local transit lovers, known for his cherubic happy-faced bus and train art which he sells as pins and shirts online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshaling his thousands of online followers, Arvin blasted Muni for transporting police to protests. He noted that the agency was once dubbed “The People’s Railway” when it began in 1912, and should remain for the people — not cops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1267692093754896384\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During Sunday’s peaceful protest in support of black lives, I saw a police officer aim a rubber bullet gun directly at a woman who had her hands up,” Arvin told KQED. He also \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/chrisarvinsf/status/1270060589612544000\">tweeted a photo\u003c/a> of that moment. “Public transit buses should be solely for the benefit of riders, serving their transit needs, not to aid another agency in bringing weapons to a peaceful event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even SFPD hasn’t kicked up a fuss about the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize we are all in the midst of a difficult, emotionally charged time as we come to terms with painful truths about the kind of policing that took George Floyd’s life in Minneapolis,” SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said in a statement. “SFPD’s commitment to the safety and First Amendment rights of those we serve remains undiminished, of course, and we’ve adjusted our transportation and operations accordingly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some are already praising the decision publicly, the decision is actually a reversal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Major U-turn\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Only one week ago, Muni leadership said the agency would continue to transport police to demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to the SFMTA Board of Directors during their public meeting last Tuesday, Jeffrey Tumlin, director of SFMTA, said he was surprised to learn Muni buses were used to transport police, which he only learned after a photo of a bus transporting police was tweeted by this KQED reporter. Tumlin was swiftly met with criticism by Muni riders and his own staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Two days ago, I learned from social media that our Muni buses are being used to transport police officers. This is apparently something the agency has been doing for many years,” Tumlin told the SFMTA board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1267202232472068097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then detailed some legacy of public transit and racism, including San Francisco planners’ historical erasure of black neighborhoods, labeled as “blight,” to erect new freeways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So as I work to try to reform the horrific history within my own industry, I need to honor (SFPD) Chief Bill Scott’s leadership for structural change within his,” Tumlin added. “We’re a city department just like SFPD. SFPD officers are our colleagues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Tumlin voiced his support for police, the outrage on social media against Muni had quieted. Protesters redirected their energies to police clashes in San Francisco and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But internally, staffers from various SFMTA departments voiced their outrage to Tumlin. The relatively new SFMTA director had started his tenure in 2019 with bold promises to correct his agency’s historic injustices against the black community, and his new stance on police threatened to turn those words into mere lip service in the eyes of his staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voices within the department began to organize. In just a few days, Tumlin threw his agency into reverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Never Again?

Supervisor Shamann Walton, who represents the historically black Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco, told KQED “I am not sure why SFMTA would be participating in militarizing our streets in these times of unrest and high tensions between community and law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is some appetite to make this a permanent change at the SFMTA Board of Directors, which sets policy for the agency.
