About
|
This racism scale was created in July 2017 by
C Demnowicz after repeated conversations on social media showed a need for a visual method of explaining the many levels of racism in the US. It was created from the perspective of one white woman to another white woman, to help her recognize patterns of thought, speech and behavior that created a wall to understanding institutionalized and systemic racism in the USA. The scale was not meant to go viral but since has been shared over 10k times and has been used in several articles. Please continue sharing. The scale has been updated 5 times since creation, to expand and include more areas. It will be updated as needed to be most helpful.
