“we need to be addictedto outcome as well”22Tori Swanson, senior in psychology.Fall 2020 layout.indd 410/25/20 11:45 AM
“If you tear your ACL, you aren’t going to be running the next day,”Carr said. “I think of racial injustice kind of like that. If you don’t take babysteps, you won’t heal.”While large-scale efforts like protests and marches get the conversationstarted, lasting change will come from shifts in everyday conversations. Inthose small interactions, anyone can set off a chain reaction toward racialequality.“Are we going to single-handedly change the entire justice system? No.But, we may be a part of something very small in the big spectrum of things.I think the baby steps are the most important thing.”Discussing racial issues in such a turbulent time is uncomfortable, butCarr said it’s vital to sit in that discomfort rather than closing Twitter, turningoff the news or laughing off a racist joke.Swanson’s message to the community is to “use your platform.”“It may seem scary, but at the end of the day, the world needs smartpeople to lead,” she said.Though she’ll graduate this semester and move on from the K-Statecommunity, Swanson is optimistic about those who will come after her aswell as those fighting for change in larger communities.“It’s that one-third that’s going to hold us back,” Swanson said. “They’reout of touch, they don’t understand the real trials of what it is to be a nonwhitemale in America. But the two-thirds, the good troublemakers, we’regoing to make some shit shake, for real.”As Swanson and Carr’s messages spread across K-State’s campus thissemester, more students have joined the fight for social justice. The morepeople reached by each individual speaking out, the greater the forceworking for the good of all people. More and more people are speaking,and behind them, the typhoon is building.It’s bigger than K-State. It’s bigger than one student athlete ormulticultural advocate. The movement for racial equality is one to benefit allpeople across the nation and world. Years from now, who knows who we’llbe pointing to as the butterfly who started the storm?Fall 2020 layout.indd 510/25/20 11:45 AM
