In light of the ongoing protests after the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, some people say they want to become anti-racist. Here's how to do that, according to experts.

" by Michelle Alexander to learn more about modern slavery, racism and how white people still benefit from discrimination.Differences in racial privilege occur on a personal basis, too. White privilege also means not having to worry about whether your hairstyle will cost you a job or even an interview. It's not having to worry if someone is following you around a store because they think you might steal something because of your skin color.

You may not harbor racial prejudice or hate in your heart, but ties with black people don't keep you from engaging in discriminatory behavior and/or failing to challenge racist practices.Curiosity is OK, but crossing boundaries is not. The question may not be intentionally offensive, but it can make a black person feel as if she's an animal on display — since you likely wouldn't ask that of any other race.

However, microaggressions are so common "that it's like death by a thousand cuts," Tatum said. "Research has shown that microaggressions do contribute to increased blood pressure, physical reactions [and] lower feelings of well-being."You might have friends, family and colleagues with varying degrees of complicity with racism. If they make a racist remark, it's easier to ignore it so you don't make waves.

Speak out against biased media, their disingenuous narratives and spin, their ability to tell some truth but rarely the whole truth. Damn any of them that take as much as a penny from any government, they are MediaWhores

Every CTV talking head

To many Canadian magats acting like americans . Trump is the exact opposite of everything Canadian.

This sort of dialogue pushes people to be even less open minded

CNN story lol

What a fucked up headline...

“Speak out against those who don’t loyally follow the narrative of perpetual victimhood by using their ability to think critically, analyze the data & statistics, and come to their own conclusion rather than blindly following the ignorant, sanctimonious stooges in the street.”

We definitely need to check our own bias and talk with friends and family about racist beliefs work toward loving all humanity. Racism can come from any skin colour both negative and positive assumptions.

I'd start by not siding with Black Lives Matter. What a parasitic group that is.

the media needs to heed its own words: since august 2018 i've sent emails, press releases and news tips regarding the systemic racism towards first nations to every news outlet, nary a one bothered to click the link

I like to report a racist incident, many of them actually. PM Justin wore Blackfacetrudeau making fun of black people, so many times its hard for him to remember. We need to name him & shame him.

How to stop being a political pawn. Speak out against biased msm.

Also, don't give passes to people who have the same politics as you.

Start by not accepting the racist believe of white privilege or that all whites are racist because of some new speak marxist definition

Would that be my social distancing circle or my virtual circle or my reality circle? How about we just check all the boxes already eh?

Don't vote for PM Laugh Us Out Of The Room, either. Everyone will think you are a conflicted fool.

Yeah. Easy for you extroverts to say😁

Al Sharpton doesn’t like Trudeau

Will you guys ever stop spreading BS?

Start with real facts, not what the news tells you to say. Candance Owen Black on Black

BreakingFakeCTVNews. It's your board of directors and management who are racist. For those who see no racism how is it they should follow your projections. Dumb Canadian Media. Just dumb.

Just remember CTV, before you wag the finger to Canadians about racism, your news outlets has no problem accepting Post Media bailout money from this guy. So sit the fuck down before you think you can lecture us.

Correction...don't be a fuckin racist. Speaking out in your circles invites conflict and makes you an activist. Not everyone needs to be an activist. Be a leader by example. Call out the racism, if it's out there, but you shouldn't lecture people that don't need it.

Like, in your own echo chamber?

I’m anti-racist by NOT voting liberal. BlackFaceMatters
