WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?
The audience will discover why not being a racist is not enough to dismantle racism.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Have you ever heard or made the statement "I'm not a racist?" Often this statement is made when one feels that they have to prove that they "accept everyone" or that they "don't see color." It's not enough to make such a statement, and some would argue that such a statement actually perpetuates racism. For, it stops one from looking inward and closely examining their own thoughts and deeply held beliefs. It also stops one from actively engaging in the process of dismantling racism.
