Systemic Racism: Is That Really a Thing? (Video)
July 19, 2016
Okay. Right quick: The answer to the above question on systemic racism being a ‘thing’ is YES! It is a thing. Films For Action did an investigative mini-doc series about it. Wanna see it? Here it is. Start with the first of eight exhibits on the subject, Part 1: Wealth Gap, above. The rest of the series’ minute-long videos follow after the jump.
Take a bit of time. You need to see them all; even if you knew the answer to the question. And visit www.raceforward.org for more info when you are done viewing.

Moving The Race Conversation Forward (Video)
January 24, 2014
Ever watch the news, especially in mixed (race) company, and felt a different way than most gathered about a particular story… the chosen slant of the reporting, the ‘witnesses’ interviewed on scene, the ‘coming up next’ teasers. Did you get a hold of yourself – telling yourself it was nothing. Well, no, it was something. It was just something hard to explain. And now that we have friends from all backgrounds in our circles, it is something that is harder to talk about. That racial conversation we have been reluctant to have in our circles of friends and en masse; don’t worry, Race Forward is going to spark and spur on the conversation. Above is an introductory/companion video for a special paper on the subject.
Moving the Race Conversation Forward is a report by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation that aims to reshape and reform the way we talk about race and racism in our country. The paper includes content analysis of mainstream media (finding two-thirds of race-focused media coverage fails to consider systemic racism), analysis of seven harmful racial discourse practices, and case studies of successful interventions to counteract these trends.
