Read this Beyond Racism conversation catalyst…
Racism has plagued humanity for centuries and continues to cast a long shadow over us.
Many modern nations are built on a legacy of racism. The harrowing legacies of slavery and blackbirding. The Holocaust. The Stolen Generation. Stan Grant suggests racism is at the foundation of The Australian Dream.
A racially motivated killing started the Black Lives Matter movement. The ending of Adam Goodes’ career demonstrated how racism is present at the centre of Australian sport.
As much as racism has historical roots, it is maintained through societal structures, and is manifested by individuals. To address it effectively, we must confront these challenges head-on, and engage in honest dialogue and truth-telling. And work to dismantle oppressive systems. Daryl Davis, a black musician, is an example of what is possible… he befriended a leader of the KKK.
