I would guesstimate that most people cannot, even though we spend lots of time fighting about it in these Instagram comments. (you do have the ability to scroll past a post and not say anything on Instagram, just so you know. #moderntechnology). ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Sit with yourself for one second (comments off) if you had to define racism (without going to Google) how would you define it? I want you to be well-informed and well-equipped before you jump back in those IG comments! 🙃⠀ ⠀ IF I had to give you an assignment, homework perhaps, I would ask you to DEFINE RACISM. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Not what you *think* it is. Not what you *feel* it is. I want you to LEARN WHAT IT IS.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I, myself, am deliberate in using the term “White supremacy” rather than “racism.” Racism, in my humble opinion, is probably one of THE most misunderstood yet most OVERUSED terms. The problem is that we have made racism the problem of select individuals and not THE VERY FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THIS SOCIETY HAS BEEN BUILT. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I know, those words come with a whole lot of weight. Say “White Supremacy” and see how quickly folks get uncomfortable - and not just White folks. The moment you say “White Supremacy” all folks think of are images of the KKK and other “hate groups.” But White supremacy doesn’t only come dressed in hoods - sometimes it wears a suit. Or a capris. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Whether you use “racism” or you use “White Supremacy,” what’s most important for you to understand is that they represent SYSTEMS and INSTITUTIONS. And they reflect centuries-long histories. CENTURIES. Which means they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. This is not about how you feel (insert Dave Chappelle skit here).😇 ⠀⠀ So next time you’re about to call something or someone racist, I’ll be sitting on your left shoulder whispering in your ear - “oh yeah? DEFINE RACISM.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Adding a book that I recommend you read…and not just because my words are featured in it! 💁🏾‍♀️ - @fiyawata ⠀⠀ #ShareTheMicNow⠀⠀ @sharethemicnow」6月11日 4時12分
