The Personal Journey of Anti-Racism

Professor Ibram Kendi emphasizes the ongoing journey of understanding and combating racism within oneself, as well as in society. He states that people often grapple with their identity, oscillating between being racist and anti-racist, depending on their thoughts and actions at any given moment. This process involves acknowledging past mistakes and realizing that the opposite of being racist is not simply a neutral stance but actively being anti-racist. This perspective encourages self-reflection and an understanding that acknowledging racist behaviors is the first step towards meaningful change.
