Marley Dias talks Institutional Racism
For 11-year-old Marley Dias, the call to activism began with books. Frustrated by not seeing other Black girls as the main characters in the books in her school library, she decided to take action and make a change. The wildly successful social media project, #1000blackgirlbooks, Dias launched nearly a year ago with the help of her mother, hit a nerve—and has exceeded its goal of collecting and distributing 1,000 books.
The sixth grader already knows that racism and other built-in barriers are “keeping kids like me from reaching our full potential.” Tackling racism, she says, begins with a conversation. In a new national video on institutional racism, Dias looks to educators across the country and asks:
“Do you care enough to look closer, to talk to each other. To your students, to your c...

This presentation shares ideas from Professor Rose's on-going research project, which aims to make accessible to the public what structural racism is and how it works in society. The project examines the connections between policies and practices in housing, education and other key spheres of society to reveal the intersectional and compounding effects of systemic discrimination as a significant force in American society today. In addition to sharing the outline of the project, Rose and Rosen will give examples of how it works in everyday life.

What is systemic racism in America?
You may think racism in America is caused by a few bad apples. But this animation shows how it's a systemic problem.
The history of racism in America goes back hundreds of years. In the 17th and 19th centuries, white men needed land so they took it from Indigenous people and then enslaved Black people to work the land. To justify using free labor, the whites in power promoted a myth that Black people were inferior.
White Americans now hold 85% of this country's wealth. Black Americans hold just over 4% and Hispanics hold just over 3%. People of color are statistically more likely to be impoverished, incarcerated and face discrimination in health care.

Systemic Racism Explained
Systemic racism affects every area of life in the US. From incarceration rates to predatory loans, and trying to solve these problems requires changes in major parts of our system. Here's a closer look at what systemic racism is, and how we can solve it.

Understanding Systematic Oppression and Institutionalised Racism | Kyol Blakeney | TEDxYouth@Sydney
My presentation was about understanding the concept of systematic oppression and institutionalised racism. This ranged from presenting ideas about the current structure we live under in the country of Australia and its perceptions of Indigenous Affairs. I speak about stereotypes and the approaches consecutive governments have taken to 'deal' with the Aboriginal people throughout the 228 year period of colonisation. Questions are raised about the effects of some of these actions pursued by governments towards Aboriginal people and the long term effects they carry for future generations of the longest surviving culture in the world.

My presentation was about understanding the concept of systematic oppression and institutionalised racism. This ranged from presenting ideas about the current structure we live under in the country of Australia and its perceptions of Indigenous Affairs. I speak about stereotypes and the approaches consecutive governments have taken to 'deal' with the Aboriginal people throughout the 228 year period of colonisation. Questions are raised about the effects of some of these actions pursued by governments towards Aboriginal people and the long term effects they carry for future generations of the longest surviving culture in the world.
My name is Kyol Blakeney. I have served as Indigenous Officer of the Students' Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Sydney for 2 years and was the NSW State ATSI Officer for the National Union of Students in 2014. Currently, I am the President of the SRC at the University of Sydney and a vocal Aboriginal Rights Activist. I am also studying a Bachelor of Primary Education.
