Covert Acts Of Racism Have Been Happening In Grocery Stores And Restaurants Forever

CAUTION: Contains the dreaded hierarchical pyramid and other rediculous bullshi*.
[Women's Health Magazine] Today, my Instagram feed is filled with links to petitions for lives unfairly lost, ways to donate to in-need causes, and graphics that define "white privilege" and "Black Lives Matter." In the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of law enforcement in Minneapolis last week, people from all over the country—world, even—are demonstrating their support for the Black Lives Matter movement at in-person protests and through digital activism.

There's a particular image making its way around the internet that outlines examples of overt and covert racism. The original graphic—created more than a decade ago by Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence and adapted recently by The Conscious Kid, a platform that helps parents educate their children through a critical race lens—is going viral for its explanation of the difference between the two forms of racism, or in The Conscious Kid's adaption, white supremacy.

#2 Everybody's stuck reading whatever is in the dentist's office. I'd know nothing about Ophra or Ellen or the "Royals" if not for Dr.'s office visits.
