r/racism↗

dismantle white supremacy

Reddit's anti-racism community, a safe(r) space for People of Color and their supporters, pre-screens most content for safety. All discussions are expected to be from a post-"racism 101" and postcolonial point of view. We are conscious that race intersects with sex, class, disability, age, and more, and intend this space to be safe(r) for *all* POC. This community was founded by and is actively curated by People of Color.
