The Cost Of Racism

Last month Resist Racism ran a short series entitled “The Cost of Racism”. It was an insightful look at just a few of the ways racism devalues the racist's own life:

1. Racism strips people of their empathy.

2. Racism denies people the ability to develop their critical thinking.

3. Racism often keeps people from doing the right thing in stressful/dangerous/harmful situations.

I hope that those of you who are joining me in my quest to become more aware of my own racism—as a first step in becomimg less racist—will read the posts (just click on the links provided above), and even subscribe to the Resist Racism blog.
