She was worried about the car, and how she would be able to drive it after the baby was born. #2 The popular belief that racist and antiracist define a person rather than describe a person in a specific moment doesn't take into account the complexity of individuals living in contradiction. #3 To be antiracist, we must acknowledge the times we are being racist.
To raise an antiracist, we must overcome that inner voice of denial and acknowledge the gravity of the situation. #4 To raise an antiracist child, you must first teach them about their own culture and history.
