For this week’s discussion, I would like you to write, in at least 300 words, a formative analysis of the lessons from this week to create a cohesive understanding of what institutional racism is (i.e., structural or systemic racism).
As you think/write your summary, ask yourself: How and why was race created and structured into society, specifically in the United States? How does racism affect people’s lives today? How do the various institutions of society maintain a racialized class system, nationally and even globally?
Material Artifact (6 pts): After you have formulated an understanding about what institutional racism is, make sure to end your post with a material artifact that expresses concrete ways that racial and ethnic inequalities are being addressed in the United States (nationally), locally, or even globally.
