Here are some key takeaways from this episode

Antiracism focuses on policies not people

A racist policy is described as “any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups”

Antiracism comes with commitments

“Antiracism as conceptualised here has commitments that really need to be understood particularly by organisations. The author describes capitalism and racism as twins arguing that they were born and raised together, they are co-dependent.”

Being Antiracist is a process

“This means that its going to be repetitive and sometimes challenging work that means we have to be as reflective as the author was in the book”
