“The problem is that white people see racism as conscious hate, when racism is bigger than that. Racism is a complex system of social and political levers and pulleys set up generations ago to continue working on the behalf of whites at other people's expense, whether whites know/like it or not. Racism is an insidious cultural disease. It is so insidious that it doesn't care if you are a white person who likes Black people; it's still going to find a way to infect how you deal with people who don't look like you.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayLooksPersonsStillsProblemCarePoliticalHateSocialBlackWhiteDealsGenerationsLike YouDiseaseRacismConsciousBiggerComplexesLikesExpensesBlack PeopleBehalfInsidiousLeversComplex SystemsPulleys Author:Scott Woods
“Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another, and so on. So while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we're immediately born into. It's like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe.” PeopleLooksHateBornPowerfulAirIgnoranceRacismAgreeRemainsPrivilegeBreatheAccessManifestationJust OneRacistApathy Author:Scott Woods
