Some people don’t want to be racist.
If you don’t care about racism, you still end up being racist at the end of the day. Since there is no way to not do anything about racism and not remain racist.
Unfortunately, racism happens also when you do nothing.
If you are in the group of people who don’t want to be racist, you are joined by many people, in this category.
However, just because you don’t want to be racist, doesn’t mean you aren’t. Yes, you can not want to be racist, and still be racist.
The only way to be someone who doesn’t WANT to be racist and also not BE racist is to every day practice anti-racism.
Even then, there will be moments of racism that seep in. But you will get better at knowing, and will chip away at racism itself in the process.
