Our failure to conquer racism has again raised its ugly head. Once again, the trigger is ‘policing’. But racism pervades our society. Racism touches virtually every aspect of living; housing, education, employment, income, health care, arrests and incarceration, voting rights, etc. Some of it is explicit racist thought and behaviour, but a lot of it, maybe the majority of it, comes from ‘implicit’ biases. While the topic of racism is much too big to cover all aspects in this class, we will explore some of the issues and look at how we can move forward.
