Whites know never tell blacks what you really think and what you really feel because you risk being seen as a racist. And the result of that is that to a degree, we as blacks live in a bubble. Nobody tells us the truth. Nobody tells us what they would do if they were in our situation. Nobody really helps us.

Generations of black women have anxiously watched as our children walk out into a world set against them. We teach them how to respond to police and how to react to racist comments, knowing that these lessons are not guaranteed to protect our children.

American Activist

Certain words or actions may be racist in one context but not in another; it's about the intent and belief behind them.

Context Matters

Some phrases or jokes may seem harmless to some but are actually racist, so always be culturally aware.

Cultural Sensitivity

Racism also involves ethnicity, nationality, or heritage, not just skin color.

Not Just Color

A racist person doesn't always make overtly racist comments; their beliefs may be implicit or hidden.

Not Always Obvious

A person may be labeled as racist due to their actions, even if they claim they don't hold racist beliefs.

Action Consequences

Racist words or actions can cause a lot of emotional harm, even if not intended to be hurtful.

Harmful Impact

 Unconscious bias is not the same as conscious discrimination. I'm not saying that in all of you, there's a secret sexist or racist or ageist lurking within, waiting to get out. That's not what I'm saying. We all have our biases. They're the filters through which we see the world around us.

 We've broken the world into us and them, only emerging from our bunkers long enough to lob rhetorical grenades at the other camp. We write off half the country as out-of-touch liberal elites or racist misogynist bullies. No nuance, no complexity, no humanity.
