"It is critical—particularly now—to properly engage with anti-Black racism to upend the current permanent racial caste system.
So, how can you do that?
First, become reacquainted with “racial realism."
"Racial realism" is the understanding that with current legal and societal structures, Black folx will never reach full equality in America. Said differently: the moral arc of the universe does NOT bend toward justice...
...and there is no magical moment in the future where whites and Blacks converge—as evidenced across many metrics, most notably the immutability of the wealth gap...
So, the quicker racial realism becomes the dominant way of understanding racial inequality in America, the quicker we can put forward adequate solutions to address the magnitude of the problem.
