In this episode, we're getting back to basics by defining what racism is. Based on the feedback we've received from listeners we realised there was a need to unpack the definition in more detail, especially in light of the myth of reverse racism.
Stacy and Sena are joined by Bwanika Lwanga, a pan-Africanist activist and leader. Together they discuss the definition of racism and the structural, systemic, and power dynamics that facilitate racism. They explore the concept of reverse racism and why it does not exist. They also discuss the psychological impact of racism and the role of white people in dismantling systemic racism.
Bwanika emphasizes the importance of white people engaging in the conversation, forming networks of solidarity, and challenging racism within their own circles.
