I noticed a lot of today's participants have early childhood students. Would love a discussion about how to reconcile being proactive/educating young kids on antiracism early vs. the Waldorf notion of protecting childhood innocence, which is a form of white privilege.

Being racist is to act in ways that negatively affect marginalized peoples. Non racist is adopting a personal behavior to not act in a racist way, while not being involved in any type of struggle against racism. Being anti racist is doing the work to combat racism.

right now it's making me crazy that the Kansas City Chiefs are exalted. Seeing and hearing their awful chant on national tv for the world to see and no one bats an eye at how wrong it is.

Non-racist- not condoning, but not wanting to rock the boat - accepting of the current discrepancies that have come about through our history of racism. Avoiding the difficult conversations and self reflection needed to change things.
Anti-racist: actively committing to self reflection and engagement to identify and dismantle racist thinking, systems. .

I think that according to Kendi, a non-racist is reinforcing racism through complicity.

Coming from an un-educated background that does not permit expanding knowledge, wanting to learn more, admitting being wrong, etc.  Individuals who are self-defined as racist often exhibit other overt prejudices, whereas individuals who do not define themselves as racist do not necessarily, or try not, to hold prejudice thought and action toward others.  Someone who is non-racist or anit-racist is someone who is striving, learning, wanting to be better, wanting to improve, and admitting imperfetion.

This is an ever-changing topic, laden with terms that are have ever changing linguistic value.

I feel like the difference between being racist and non-racist is admitting to some level of being a product of the racism that we experience. Could be at any given moment. Non-racist is a denial of the system we profit from or are oppressed by. Anti-racist involves action to dismantle the system and its structures.

Racist, is an active upholding of attitudes, policies, beliefs, etc that contribute to white supremacy. Non-racist, upholding the concept of “colorblindness”, which essentially allows racism to go unchecked and thrive. Anti-racist is to be well armed with the facts, or willingness to meet the soul wrenching facts and history of our country and following it all the way to our present lives, then work towards challenging it wherever you see it. Within ourselves and our world

I don't know if non-racist is really possible, especially in the united states. Racism is so much a part of what it is to american. Inherently, we are all racist. To be anti-racist is to actively work against the racism we find in ourselves, in our institutions, in our culture, and in our relationships. To call oneself not- racist is to blind oneself from seeing color or seeing the truth.

Racist: colorblind, hurtful, ignorant
Non-Racist: sees color but keeps the status quo, indifferent.
Anti-Racist: working for systemic change in every aspect of life. Using your voice and power to fight for those in need.
