I had to educate myself a lot in order to create episodes for this podcast. I really didn’t know a lot about racism, antiracism, and a lot of other things. I didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. I didn’t realize that systemic racism existed in every facet of American society- household income, home ownership, employment, entrepreneurship, health insurance, education and crime. I didn’t realize that the roads that could lead to success were wide open for me (other than me not being a White man, of course; but we’ll do gender discrimination in another episode). And I didn’t realize that the roads that feel open for me, are closed for so many others. So I did as deep a dive as I could, knowing that there is always more to learn and more work to be done. Today, I ask and try to answer: How can White people understand racism and antiracism? And my biggest study guide was “How to be an Antiracist,” by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
Understanding these concepts? Yup- it’s a huge job. Let’s get started.
