Episode 204: The Destructive Power of Racism Denials
"I don't see race!" "That wasn't racist; that was a compliment!" These statements are racism denials. What is racism denial? How can anyone deny that racism? The answer: we all deny racism at some time! Racism denial is both a political strategy and a coping mechanism. We will discuss these two uses of racism denial and the eight different types of racism denial. The Espresso Talk Today team is joined by Phillippe Copeland, Ph.D. of Boston University Center for Antiracist Research to explain racism denials, how to recognize them, how to respond to them, their effects, and his goal for an antiracist society.
