On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, it is crucial to reaffirm our commitment to combating racism in all its forms, creating a society where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and equality. Systemic racism within institutions, such as education, employment, healthcare, and criminal justice systems, creates barriers and disparities that disproportionately affect people from ethnic or minority backgrounds. These systemic inequalities contribute to feelings of marginalisation, alienation, and a lack of belonging, impacting mental well-being and overall quality of life. By promoting unity in diversity and standing together against racism, we can build a more inclusive and equitable world for young people and future generations. #NoToRacism

Find your Future. I help professionals who feel stuck in their career to start their own side hustle/full time business, by overcoming any limiting beliefs that might be holding them back.
Truthful Tuesday: Discrimination: Racism-what it is and how it affects people in society? What is Racism, what is it like to deal with Racism in regards to status or within environments of family, friends, work associates? What is the history behind Racism? Should we be open to talk about Racism issues in society, do they exist with more equality laws? How humans understand and approach Racism and how it differs across cultures. Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity. Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems (e.g. apartheid) that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices. The ideology underlying racist practices often assumes that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behaviour and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. Racist ideology can become manifest in many aspects of social life. Associated social actions may include nativism, xenophobia, otherness, segregation, hierarchical ranking, supremacism, and related social phenomena. Racism refers to violation of racial equality based on equal opportunities (formal equality) or based on equality of outcomes for different races or ethnicities, also called substantive equality.

Let's address the historical implications and current realities of societal inequalities. It's crucial to acknowledge the prevalence of discriminatory behavior and its impact on marginalized communities. The issues of white flight, racial epithets, and the need for police escorts in certain environments highlight deep-rooted challenges that demand our attention and action. #SocialJustice #Inequality #CommunityAwareness
