Educating oneself on social issues from "summary" of How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

To be an antiracist is to constantly be learning about the social issues that shape our world. It is not enough to simply acknowledge that racism exists; we must actively educate ourselves on the systems and structures that perpetuate these inequalities. This process of learning is ongoing and requires a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. One way to educate oneself on social issues is to seek out diverse perspectives and voices. This means reading books, articles, and essays written by people from different backgrounds and experiences. By exposing ourselves to a variety of viewpoints, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues at play. Additionally, it is important to engage in conversations with others about these social issues. This can help us to challenge our own assumptions and biases, as well as learn from the experiences of others. By listening to the stories and perspectives of those who have been marginalized, we can begin to see the world in a new light. Furthermore, educating oneself on social issues requires a commitment to self-reflection and introspection. We must be willing to examine our own beliefs and behaviors, and consider how they may contribute to systems of oppression. This process can be uncomfortable, but it is necessary in order to grow and change.
  1. Becoming an antiracist means taking a proactive approach to learning about the social issues that affect us all. It is a journey that requires humility, empathy, and a willingness to challenge ourselves. By educating ourselves on these issues, we can begin to work towards a more just and equitable society.
