Addressing Microaggressions

As explained briefly on our Racial Equity 101 page, Microagressions are verbal and nonverbal behaviors. Many times they go unnoticed by the oppressor but are significantly harmful to the individual being oppressed. They communicate a hostile and/or negative message, whether this is intentional or unintentional. These actions often occur in everyday scenarios and go unacknowledged. By raising awareness we want to make it easier for individuals to recognize and address such discreet and casual statements.

Microaggressions take form in three ways:

As a community we need to be aware of the potential ways we have or could be harming others without knowing. By the end of 2022, NOBL would particularly like to identify two moderators who can address these kinds of statements when they are used by neighbors on NextDoor.com.

Here are 3 steps to address microaggressive behavior:

  1. Recognize and address your own personal biases and shortcomings.
  2. Hold other individuals and organizations accountable for unjust behavior, policy, culture, etc
  3. Assess how our society introduces biases, prejudices, and stereotypes through education, policy, power structures, etc.
