How to Be an Anti-Racist: A Case Study from Then to Now | White Rage and Stamped from the Beginning | Why Systemic Racism is Not Just an American Problem

Description:Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.Ironically, a lot of people have been angry about the anger. Others have likely acknowledged the injustices quietly to themselves but decided not to speak out at all.'The least racist is still racist'A study published in 2019 in the journal Frontiers in Sociology suggested that Britain is one of the least racist countries in Europe.But as the rapper Dave said during his performance at the Brit Awards in February 2020, referencing the study: “the least racist is still racist”. He received widespread backlash from furious viewers who said he was wrong and ungrateful.He’s a black man performing on a British show, therefore Britain’s not racist, the argument went. He’s had success as a music artist in Britain, so Britain’s definitely not racist. He’s earned a lot of money from fans in this country. We can’t be racist. Right?The first time I ever went to Eastern Europe, I had names shouted at me every time I left my hotel room, so I am not sure that being the “least racist” country in Europe is exactly a glowing recommendation - the bar is not especially high.I am a pupil barrister. This means that I am in the final stage of training before becoming a fully-fledged, qualified and practising barrister - almost like an apprenticeship.It is one of the most coveted and competitive positions there is in this country. People, I am sure, would also look at me and say, “She is a black woman and she has done it. That wouldn’t be possible if racism was still an issue in this country”.But I have managed this despite racism, not because of its absence.The truth is that I have experienced racism at every stage of my life. My earliest memories of this are from as young as three years old.This continued into my school years, where increased vocabulary meant that the name-calling ramped up a gear and I was called things such as “Lola the black cola” as well as being kicked and punched on the playground and around my neighbourhood at home.Being quietly ‘not racist’ is not enough.
