Racism, Individual and Systemic
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Racism is prejudice and discrimination used to maintain that one racial group is superior, operating both through individuals and through routine institutional procedure.
Show
A single racist remark is individual racism; a court system that hands down harsher sentences to defendants of color through routine guidelines is systemic racism.
Watch for
Systemic racism can produce unequal outcomes without any participant intending an unequal result.
