Video Synopsis
Students share their experiences with racism. Racism is a complex system of beliefs and behaviors, grounded in a presumed superiority of the dominant race. These beliefs and behaviors are conscious and unconscious, personal and institutional. In the U.S. they result in the oppression of people of color and benefit white people. Racial prejudice + power = Racism. Racism is different from prejudice. The difference is that, in this country, people of color face systematic and ongoing personal and institutionalized biases every day.
