S8E4: Systematic Racism

Naked Conversations: Race, Culture, & Beyond

“You cannot heal what you have not diagnosed. You cannot repair what you do not see.” - Isabel Wilkerson

Today we’re bringing it back to basics. What do we mean when we refer to “systematic racism”, and how is this different than racism on the individual level? Join us today as we unpack the realities of ‘racism by design’, and what are we really going to do about it in this lifetime.

Listen to hear us talk about:

• Defining systematic, structural and institutionalised racism

• Examples of structural racism in the public system

• Broadway shows that are challenging cultural norms

• Resistance to ‘believing in’ systematic racism

• Important questions about racism we need to keep asking ourselves

Resources mentioned:

• "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway
• "Six" on Broadway
• Caste: Origins of our Discontents - Isabel Wilkerson
• On the Rooftop - Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
