8. Understanding Poverty: The Real Cause Of Undesirable Social Behaviors

Poverty is the missing link in understanding many of the ideas, stereotypes, judgments and conclusions that have been misallocated to people of color for generations. Negative social behaviors that were once inaccurately associated with 'race,' such as crime, violence, high birth rates, low education levels and illness, have been found to...

9. New Racisms

New racisms, for the most part, are an expression and continuation of old unchallenged racisms. Old ideas from previous generations become integrated into the cultures, languages and societies of newer generations. The original meanings become lost, and often repeated, often heard 'racial' cultural stereotypes become accepted ideas among those who...

10. Beyond ‘Race’: Every Generation Needs An Education On ‘Race’
