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?
@9KBX8Z24mos4MO
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
@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
@9KCJFWG4mos4MO
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
@9KCHVZS4mos4MO
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
@9KF86WH4mos4MO
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.
@9KGNQPN3mos3MO
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.
@9KGNPDG3mos3MO
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.
@9KGNDWNRepublican3mos3MO
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
@9KFRM5K3mos3MO
White privilege is the inherent societal value that is given to white people based on years and years of white supremacy in our country.
@9KJ8C97Republican3mos3MO
White privilege is not here anymore. there is more black privilege now because everyone feels bad for what happened in the past.
@hanbohobbitSocialist 3mos3MO
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.
@9KP8RVC3mos3MO
Our society and government both privilege blacks and other minority ethnicities above whites. The notion that whites in this country are "privileged" is absurd.
@9KJ9LWL3mos3MO
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
@9KBF2SG4mos4MO
I don't believe people today of the white race have a privilege over other races.
@9KBG6C44mos4MO
There will always be an inherent bias that we still have not overcome. The Civil Rights era wasn't centuries ago—it was within previous generations (and current living ones). Subconscious racism and microaggressions will stick with us.
@9KBGCGV4mos4MO
Systematically, if you are white, you have an advantage over other people, that is how it has been since the beginning of time.
@9KCS2JP4mos4MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What's the most effective way you've found to shut down a racially insensitive remark?
@9KLW78L3mos3MO
Everyone is equal, and no one is less than another, just because of their skin color.
@9KPLVTH3mos3MO
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.
@9KMQ5WR3mos3MO
not to teach kids the race theory because it is disrespectful to all races
@9KLWLR93mos3MO
Ignore the person who made it. Or to educate the person.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What's one change you can make in your daily life that could have a positive impact on race relations around you?
@9KJZQWB3mos3MO
Educate myself on racial history and stay open minded to other's experiences.
@9KK2QGL3mos3MO
We can just be humans simple as that no race hate no nothing like that
@9KJZTWB3mos3MO
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
@9KJZDW83mos3MO
Inclusivity or avoiding other ethnic groups. Just overall being a better person.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO

@9H8TYLD7mos7MO
in my opinion, they have free speech, and as long as they aren't hurting anybody or destroying anybody's reputation they are fine
@9H8TZNH7mos7MO
Ignore them and do not interact, I do not want to interact with a racist
@9H8TPJ77mos7MO
Id like to disclude myself from these conversation
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What is the importance of listening to and amplifying the voices of those who are directly affected by racial discrimination?
@9J5W9XLWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
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.
@9J5TYTZ5mos5MO
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
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
In what ways do you think sports and teamwork can help bridge racial divides?
@9KK7R5ZRepublican3mos3MO
They can be more inclusive and not draw attention to the racial and cultural differences.
@9KK7FN33mos3MO
Sports and teamwork can help bridge this by giving fair chances to everyone.
@9KK7BBV3mos3MO
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.
