Kristy and Angie discuss the pervasive anti-black racism in society and in the Asian-diaspora community. We throw away our original episode 4 plans to talk about and sit with a heavy subject that brings us a lot of discomfort.
Highlights:
- Outdated stereotypes about the black community and in our own community
- Reading lyrics from Akala, a British rapper, journalist, author, activist and poet
- Going to Vancouver's downtown eastside to retrieve a phone
Takeaway:
- Violence is not the root of racism, it's a symptom of a system that needs to change
- We may not eradicate racism in our lifetime but we can accept that we are all racist and confront our own implicit biases as a step in the right direction
- Talk through your discomfort around difficult subjects with friends and family members to grow together
Resources:
- What I Said When My White Friend Asked for My Black Opinion on White Privilege (Article)
- Letters For Black Lives (Website)
