In this talk, Carlos Hoyt, Ph.D., LICSW, points out how our misunderstandings about race and our well-meaning but misguided efforts to achieve "racial equality" only end up keeping us trapped in a vicious cycle of trying to get beyond racism while reproducing and re-enforcing its false basis, race. Carlos provides directions that can finally and truly enable us to get past racism. References and notes related to this talk can be found here.

Carlos Hoyt: Charting a course beyond racism

Charting a course beyond racism

The process of racialization, or assigning race-based attributes, perpetuates racism by maintaining false human divisions.

To truly dismantle racism, one must reject racialization, embracing a deeper understanding of human similarities over differences.

Navigating beyond racism requires dismantling ingrained maps of racialization, fostering a deep understanding of shared humanity.
