Understanding Racial Terminology & Your Role In The Push Toward Racial Equality Part 2


Listen Later

Have you been using racially offensive words and didn't even know it? It's much easier to do than you may think! 

Many of us grew up thinking, speaking, and behaving in specific ways as a direct result of our upbringing. We think our way of living is normal... not offensive or insensitive toward others. 

But can the things that we've always done and said be offensive toward others?

Well, the answer is yes!

Biases and negative thought patterns tend to get passed down generational without ever being challenged or checked... because we accept the things that are family teaches us as true and right!

It's time for all of us to take a deep dive into ourselves to find out if racism has found its way into our hearts and minds. 

We can do this by expanding our knowledge on the topic!

This episode tackles a ton of terminology being used in relation to race, and we discuss the role that teens and young adults like YOU play in the push toward racial quality. 

This Episode Covers:
Racial Violence
Systemic Racism 
Internalized Racism 
Riots
Activism 
What you can do to make a change?
