Bias, Prejudice, Bigotry, Racism, What's the Difference?

Join Carol François and Kourtney Square, the aunt and niece duo, as they kick off Episode 1 of Why Are they So Angry? Learn the differences among and between the terms bias, prejudice, bigotry, and racism as an introduction to understanding how systemic racism permeates every institution in America. The terms discussed in the episode are taken from the book Institutional Racism: A Primer On Theory and Strategies for Social Change, Second Edition, by Shirley Better. Carol quotes Ijeoma Oluo, “When we acknowledge racism as part of a system, instead of being limited to our ability to win over racists, we can instead focus on how our actions interact with systemic racism.” If you want to expand your knowledge of systemic racism visit the website www.whyaretheysoangry.com or take the course, Systemic Racism: See it, Say it, Confront it.
