Can you be "not racist" ?

Racism is a Real Issue. And in the last few months, with all of the happenings all over the globe, and especially in the US, the issue has come to forefront.

Today, I came across a conversation with historian Ibram X Kendi. And this clarified a lot of doubts and conflicts I had about the subject in my mind. This is an important conversation to listen to. I hope you do.



The difference between being "not racist" and antiracist

There is no such thing as being "not racist," says author and historian Ibram X. Kendi. In this vital conversation, he defines the transformative concept of antiracism to help us more clearly recognize, take responsibility for and reject prejudices in our public policies, workplaces and personal beliefs. Learn how you can actively use this awareness to uproot injustice and inequality in the world -- and replace it with love. (This virtual interview, hosted by TED's current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers and speaker development curator Cloe Shasha, was recorded June 9, 2020.)
