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?
@9KBX8Z22mos2MO
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
@9KCHVZS2mos2MO
It isn't the fact that they don't have rights white people do, it's the fact that POC people are blatantly ignored, treated differently, and harassed day by day by white people due to racism. Socially, they are seen as less by a lot of people who have white privilege, those people not understanding what privilege they have. They do not want things handed to them, they want equality, and for white people to not have the privilege they do.
They don't want things handed to them they just don't want to have to fight to have what comes easier to white people
@9KCDT892mos2MO
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.
@9KCDQZ72mos2MO
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.
@9KF86WH2mos2MO
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
@9KFKR8BIndependent2mos2MO
lots of white people dont experience discrimination
@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.
@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.
@9KHPDCP2mos2MO
That it still exists but it has improved. There will always be preferences based on culture, race and ethnicity.
@9KFRM5K2mos2MO
White privilege is the inherent societal value that is given to white people based on years and years of white supremacy in our country.
@9KJ9LWL2mos2MO
The fact that there are any white people at all who have financial struggles or are in jail for crimes regarding people of color means that the whole idea of white privilege is somewhat unrealistic and unlikely to be a thing
@9KJ8JJN2mos2MO
The United States form of Government provides equality for all. Everyone has the same opportunities to succeed.
@9KJ8C97Republican2mos2MO
White privilege is not here anymore. there is more black privilege now because everyone feels bad for what happened in the past.
@hanbohobbitSocialist 2mos2MO
People who don't understand the concept of white privilege are often stuck on financial privilege being the only, or most important, consideration - they don't realize that it's more often about other types of cultural or social privileges vs. ingrained, perpetual biases that have less to do with wealth.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
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

@9H8TYLD5mos5MO
in my opinion, they have free speech, and as long as they aren't hurting anybody or destroying anybody's reputation they are fine
@9H8TZNH5mos5MO
Ignore them and do not interact, I do not want to interact with a racist
@9H8TPJ75mos5MO
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
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
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.
