New Report: Moving the Race Conversation Forward

RaceForward (formerly the Applied Research Center and publisher of Colorlines) has released a report which

1. analyzes conversations about race in the “mainstream” media (Surprise! The mainstream doesn’t talk much about systems!),
2. describes seven harmful racial discourse practices, and
3. features case studies of attempts to change this harmful discourse.

They invited Jay Smooth to do a quick rundown, though he doesn’t so much give an overview as describe the difference between individual and systemic racism. Take a 5-minute break to look at it.
