Racism in the United States isn’t all that it seems. While many of us like to believe that we’re closer than ever to reaching a post-racial society, the research of Dr. Candis Watts Smith paints a very different picture. In her talk, Dr. Watts Smith dispels what we think we know about racism, and explores what we can do in order to live in a post-racist society. Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I think that’s the first step to overcoming racism in our world and societies. Understanding and accepting that we all have biases and make judgements on preconceived notions, my self included. Once we do that, we open ourselves up to awareness and open-mindedness

What comes after is hopefully self-reflection, mindset change, and finally an outward approach to alleviating racism around you in an educational/humanitarian way

Using a lot of data sources, for example the amount of POC in prison around in the US. The amount of POC in each state. The amount of POC in each school district, and other surveys throughout history ETC... then using all the data collected. Perhaps listen more rather than judge so much?

Do you know of any objective criteria by which to judge "racial resentment"? If you do, the rest of us might like to know. And with that information, how does one extract and extrapolate? Poll people door to door who are giving their honest opinions? Or are they looking at more subjective, selective criteria, like reported incidents of racial slurs, which may be unfounded? Or, what's likely 100% the case, because it always is, are they asking POC to express their feelings? E.g. "Do you feel racial resentment? Is it better or worse than what you felt in the '90s?"

If you take human history into account, what you can see is that it's an endless story of empire, genocide, slavery and ever more efficient means of exchange, which until recently, produced more empire and genocide. We have historically low rates of violence, inequality is sinking worldwide and more and more people can live a decent life in relative freedom and material prosperity. Racism is less of an issue for all of us, less so than it has ever been.

What is the ultimate goal when it comes to racism? What does the world look like without racism? I would hope that most people would say that a world without racism would mean that skin color doesn't matter. So how do we get there? Do you think that making a persons skin color part of how they identify themselves is going to achieve that? I think we need to take a really hard look at what it is we want and what we are doing to get what we want. IMO most of the things we are pushing to end racism isn't going to get us the desired result.

Maybe true. Then again, some of us have lived 39 years on this earth and have heard every day of our lives how we're horrible people with some sort of internalized cruelty, when we've never hurt a single person ever, yet are told that makes us even worse because we won't admit what they magically know is true about us. Most of those people who say those things to people give talks with titles like this. So maybe it's not fair to prejudge the video without watching it; maybe it's also a backlash against the incessant brow-beating some of us have endured simply for the way we were born. I just wish they'd be honest. "Justice" and "revenge" aren't the same things.

Most blacks aren't running around with their pants falling off and talking in Ebonics. My experience is limited to mostly educated, military, and athletic encounters across races. One thing that is happening because of this divisiveness in our country is neither side is very good at listening. While we buy our guns and stock up on ammo it might be wise to take a look in the mirror and allow some air out of the balloon.

i dont need anyone to tell me what racism is or how to fix it... treat ALL PEOPLE the way you want to be treated... RIGHT is RIGHT... and WRONG is WRONG... this lady makes a bunch of BS statements

@deealfaro-baeza8314 4 жыл бұрын

I think we shpuld treat people the way they want to be treated, because we are all different. The way I want to be treated has proved to be vastly different than the way another person wants to be treated, considering gender, race and personality differences... even geographically.

The reason of your racism is the economic disparity. It's because of the economic bases, not because the state of mind.

@DavayDalshe 4 жыл бұрын

You're trying to measure racism by the numbers of people in prisons and schools. But it's based on economic. Poor people become criminals much more often than rich people, and rich people and poor people live in different neighborhoods so their children go to different schools. And what about friends. Where do you make friends? In school, in college, in resorts on holidays, in fitness club on golf club, in the places you have fun, at work with сolleagues. And if you're banker relaxing in golf club, you have less chances to make friends with poor people and act with them as servers than a plant worker who drinks on Friday in the cheap bar. Bases of race segregation same as all segregation in times of capitalism - it's all about money.

@@andreanottellin2129 Real quick thought experiment. Don't tell me the answer. Just think about it when you're alone, in quiet moments. If we're all just the same, would you move from a first-world, cooperative society to, say, Somalia or Congo or Haiti to live and raise children? As for not understanding my reply, that's fine. I'm an evolutionary biologist. The taxon of "race" is a colloquialism for geographic subspecies, which means different groups of people evolved in different climates with different evolutionary pressures, and thus have different breeding strategies and different genetic behaviors. You can deny this, that's fine. A lot of people do, because they believe feelings are important. But two quick points. 1) Reality exists independent your acknowledgment or participation. 2) We all know the answer to that thought experiment.
