Racism Doesn’t Start With Slurs!
It begins with willful ignorance. Curious on how to take the next step in the fight against Racism? Don’t just settle for “not being racist” you need to be an ANTI-RACIST!
But what does being an Anti-Racist mean? To put it shortly it means to stand up when you see discrimination and prejudice. It doesn’t always have to be in public either.
For example when a family member says something alarming don’t just furrow your brow in disapproval – start a conversation about it. Tell them that what you’re saying confuses them/hurts them and tell them why it does. You won’t always change minds, but that’s OK.
