What do y'all think? Sometimes this could be the case. You know, people don't believe in racism until they have been affected by it; the same goes for other social problems like gender inequality or LGBTQ rights.. Sometimes they have their own beliefs because that is how they were taught, and sometimes, they aren't just educated enough. They don't know that most of the music genre comes from Black cultures, or that redlining was a thing in 1970, or even what it is. And so much more facts and issues that they are not aware of. What do y'all think?

I do think lack of education contributes to many factors of racism. And as J said, pausing judgement and being kind is always a good start, but telling a racist to be kind probably wouldn't have much affect on them or their views.
Many people don't believe racism exists because it isn't as bad as it was years ago. But how do we start the conversation? Is it a case of educating in schools? And what do you teach?
