Racial profiling
Police brutality
Segregation
Discrimination in housing, employment, and education

How does racism manifest?

Racism can manifest in both overt and covert ways. Overt racism is easy to identify, such as when someone uses a racial slur or makes a racist joke. Covert racism is more subtle, and it can be more difficult to recognize. Some examples of covert racism include:

Assuming that people of color are less intelligent or capable than white people
Avoiding contact with people of color
Making jokes that reinforce negative stereotypes about people of color

Racism has a devastating impact on the lives of people of color. It can lead to:

Lower self-esteem
Increased anxiety and depression
Poorer health outcomes
Shorter life expectancies

How can we combat racism?

There are many things we can do to combat racism. Some of the most important things include:

Educate ourselves about racism
Challenge racist jokes and comments
Support anti-racist organizations
Vote for candidates who support anti-racist policies

How can we raise anti-racist children?

Raising anti-racist children is one of the most important things we can do to create a more just and equitable world. Here are some tips for raising anti-racist children:

Talk to your children about racism and its effects
Expose your children to people of different races and cultures
Encourage your children to question stereotypes and biases
Be a role model for anti-racist behavior

Racism is a serious problem, but it is one that we can overcome. By educating ourselves about racism, challenging racist jokes and comments, supporting anti-racist organizations, voting for candidates who support anti-racist policies, and raising anti-racist children, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.
