Research Help: Anti-racism Resources: Levels of Racism: Systemic vs Individual

This guide is a starting point for members of the Fitchburg State University community seeking information and resources to learn about anti-racism, white privilege, and inclusion.

A lot of people know racism is institutional. But a lot more folks need to hear it over & over before they get it. The history is conclusive and the study data are clear: not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. It just sits there and festers. I hope administrators of instances listen.

And that, in a nutshell, is the Critical Race Theory that the right wing so desperately doesn't want people to know about.

@hugh Well, you know the RW isn’t really interested in addressing the caustic effects of institutional racism. We know that. CRT is a dog whistle for them in the service of accruing power for power’s sake. They’re pretty awful but transparent these days.
