You believe in fostering a society where all individuals are treated equally, regardless of their race, and racial discrimination is actively dismantled.
Anti-racism is a political ideology that seeks to confront and challenge racism in all its forms. It is rooted in the belief that all races are equal and that racial discrimination is fundamentally unjust. Anti-racism advocates for policies and actions that promote racial equality and justice, and it opposes any form of racial bias, discrimination, or prejudice.
The history of anti-racism as a political ideology is intertwined with the broader history of human rights and social justice movements. While the term "anti-racism" itself is relatively recent, the principles it emb…

Why do you think some people struggle to understand the concept of 'white privilege' and how would you explain it?
@9KBX8Z23mos3MO
I dont understand it myself because there is no right that a white person has that a person of color doesn't. People of color want things handed to them and choose not to work for it. I
@9KCDT893mos3MO
White privilege is being able to not fear for your life when you get pulled over, and to not have to worry about just walking down the street.
@9KCDQZ73mos3MO
We're built on white policies that were made to keep people of color down. America has systemic racist issues and white people are handed more that people of color.
@9KGGN5LProgressive3mos3MO
Think of life in America as a race, and people of color unfortunately started that race about a hundred years late, and still dealt with extremely unfair environments and opportunities for at least another hundred years. If I race is to be fair, shouldn't it have been so from the beginning? Maybe now on paper they have equal rights, but they haven't had generation after generation accumulating representation, wealth, and power like white people have had since the beginning
@9KCJFWG3mos3MO
there isnt any necessary right that they dont have on paper, however throughout history and currently and can be seen that people of color have a disadvantage in the workplace and just generally in society
@9KF86WH3mos3MO
Because they have never encountered racism themselves or have seen it first hand. Sometimes we are just ignorant and uneducated. Have them realize that not everyone goes through the same life experiences or is treated the same.
@9KGNQPN2mos2MO
I am white and grew up where I was one of only a handful of white people. I was picked on and beat up because of my skin color. The only people that preach about white privileged are people brainwashed to feel guilty about who they are born as. Any time you pick a skin color to define someone is terrible. People should be ashamed of themselves for singling out anybody’s skin and is disgusting.
@9KGNPDG2mos2MO
Racism against people of colour in America is no longer a problem. Thanks to DEI many people of colour will now have advantage over white people.
@9KGNDWNRepublican2mos2MO
Because people are ignorant and love to accuse someone of their issues. And white privileg seems to be an easy uneducated answer
@9KFKR8BIndependent3mos3MO
lots of white people dont experience discrimination
@9KBF2SG3mos3MO
I don't believe people today of the white race have a privilege over other races.
@9KCS2JP3mos3MO
When you go down to it there are going to be racist people and that automatically gives more privileges to "white people".
In this day and age 'White privilege' still exists, they still control a lot more, and are able to do a lot more today. It's easier for white people to get more privileges than it is for people of color, people of color still get treated way differently in most areas. People of color are a lot easier to get in trouble, won't get hired because of the color of their skin, and the same problems we've had since back then.
@9KCLCFQ3mos3MO
white Americans tend to always seem like they have it all, they don't have to worry about their citizenship because they were naturally born here. it's often show how great Americans have it; white Americans have this rich look to them, and because of that, it usually causes people to envy them or even hate them.
@9KBGCGV3mos3MO
Systematically, if you are white, you have an advantage over other people, that is how it has been since the beginning of time.
@9KHLLPB2mos2MO
I think people don't realize that white privilege doesn't exist anymore. It existed back in the day but in this day and age they need to realize that we all suffer and go through things it's not related to race at all.
@hplNC272mos2MO
White people are still disproportionately advantaged based solely on the color of their skin. Someone who believes white privilege doesn't exist anymore is clearly not checking their own privilege effectively enough. White privilege does not solely deal with financial or class struggle - it mainly involves long-ingrained societal biases that we must work harder to recognize and dismantle.
@9KJLHCVWomen’s Equality2mos2MO
we all go through things. However, white ppl go through things and are just white. Other ppl go through things BECAUSE they are not white.
@9KHT7ZH2mos2MO
A take on white privilege this backwards could only come from a lack of perspective: Claiming this are "not related to race" is in and of itself a manifestation of white privilege. Being able to not become privy to any form of suffering or struggle that other's face on a daily basis, while confusing everyday struggles of living in America as being "equal" with people of color is exactly why white privilege will never not exist. It's far too ingrained in so many mindsets that they are unable to see it
@9KHSR7G2mos2MO
Racism is not just an interpersonal issue, but a structural one. Black people are more likely to face housing, employment, and healthcare discrimination on basis of race. Institutions like redlining have directly impacted the livelihoods of Black Americans across the country, the effects of which will likely prevail for decades to come. White people are, to most upon first impression, inherently more innocent, intelligent, trustworthy, or non-threatening than Black people, purely based on preconceived notions. In many cases, racism is entirely subconscious. This doesn't mean that it's not there, however.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What's the most effective way you've found to shut down a racially insensitive remark?
@9KLW78L2mos2MO
Everyone is equal, and no one is less than another, just because of their skin color.
@9KPLVTH2mos2MO
Everyone is human. Just because someone is more tanned than another doesn’t make them any less human. We were all conceived the same way therefore we all started from the same beginning. So we should all treat each other fairly.
@9KMQ5WR2mos2MO
not to teach kids the race theory because it is disrespectful to all races
@9KLWLR92mos2MO
Ignore the person who made it. Or to educate the person.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What's one change you can make in your daily life that could have a positive impact on race relations around you?
@9KJZQWB2mos2MO
Educate myself on racial history and stay open minded to other's experiences.
@9KK2QGL2mos2MO
We can just be humans simple as that no race hate no nothing like that
@9KJZTWB2mos2MO
Try not to judge someone immediately off of their skin color because they could be just as good as you at something or better and they don't have a chance to show it because of judgment
@9KJZDW82mos2MO
Inclusivity or avoiding other ethnic groups. Just overall being a better person.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO

@9H8TYLD6mos6MO
in my opinion, they have free speech, and as long as they aren't hurting anybody or destroying anybody's reputation they are fine
@9H8TZNH6mos6MO
Ignore them and do not interact, I do not want to interact with a racist
@9H8TPJ76mos6MO
Id like to disclude myself from these conversation
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What is the importance of listening to and amplifying the voices of those who are directly affected by racial discrimination?
@9J5W9XLWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
The importance of amplifying the voices of others is to spread the awareness of the issues in the US, and with that awareness we know what to fix.
@9J5TYTZ4mos4MO
Anti racist is when you are not racist to other peopel thta might not be the sqame color as you.
So that you can understand how they feel and fix it
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
In what ways do you think sports and teamwork can help bridge racial divides?
@9KK7R5ZRepublican2mos2MO
They can be more inclusive and not draw attention to the racial and cultural differences.
@9KK7FN32mos2MO
Sports and teamwork can help bridge this by giving fair chances to everyone.
@9KK7BBV2mos2MO
Stop supporting exclusive behavior. Things like BLM, kneeling, LGBTQ, etc should be left off the field. Sports players are paid to play a sport and entertain people. We don’t pay to see or hear their opinions.
