Do you know the difference between being “not racist” and being “anti-racist”? It may not sound like much, but there’s actually a very real distinction!
READ THIS: ANTI-RACISM, IT’S MORE THAN ANY OF US THINK
Let’s be honest — talking about racism is hard! It can be uncomfortable, and even scary, but it’s important. And it’s not just important to talk openly and honestly about the reality of racism in our country, it’s also important to intentionally confront racism so that we can stop it. Earn your Easy A this week by learning a little more about anti-racism. You may be surprised to learn there’s more to it than you think!
