Antiracist (10)
RP @ theconsciouskid Racism is not limited to the individual choices of "bad people". It is structural and embedded into all aspects of society—this includes laws, dominant cultural norms, and our very own consciousness.
The actions of Amy Cooper and the police officers in Minneapolis occur within contexts and histories of power and privilege. While social and professional consequences for their individual behaviors are absolutely essential, we also need to understand how individual acts of racism are a reflection of systemic (structural) racism.
We hope this breakdown of individual vs. structural racism is useful.
