The roots of racism - Vinil Kumar

Racism is a crucial component of the capitalist system. Racism stems from the slave plantations of the Americas - as Eric Williams explained, “slavery was not born of racism—rather racism was the consequence of slavery.” Racism has persisted beyond the abolition of slavery- used to justify colonialism, exploitation of migrant workers, imperialism and more. This session will discuss the roots of racism, how it persists and how it can be ended. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
