Recorded August 13, 2020: Can Black people be racist in a society rooted in systematic oppression? On this week’s bonus episode of the Alternative Blacks Podcast, Chris and Tyler discuss the nuances of what it means to be racist and how that differs from prejudice in today’s reality. Chris and Tyler agree Black people in America do not have access to the established power capable of swaying the institution of racism. However, Black voices can contribute to systematic racism with their own internalized racism. Ultimately, we question how racism is perpetuated through the power structure, and further, what does it mean to be racist?

For more information on the role of power in racism, check out this article by James Wood.
