Wealth and Law Episode 12 (Express): We Are Anti-RACIST
With everything that is happening in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, we want to make clear the Wealth and Law Podcast stance:
- Racism is wrong in all of its forms (direct or indirect)
- Racism exists in our society and should never be tolerated
- White privilege exists in our society and it supports racism in direct and indirect ways
- By listening to, learning from, and following the lead of wise leaders in the Black community, we can overcome racism and change our society to become fair and just
