How Systemic Racism Keeps Repeating

Systemic racism doesn't sustain itself by accident. Bias and prejudice can be passed from one person in power to another, shaping who gets opportunities, who gets heard, and who gets left behind. Changing systems requires changing who has the power to shape them.

Why is passion for justice often mislabeled as "anger"? Requina Barnes explores the reality of being a Black woman in the workplace where speaking up against misrepresentation and racism can lead to disciplinary action instead of dialogue. When a comfortable environment becomes uncomfortable because you’ve demanded fairness, it highlights a systemic failure to hear the voices that matter most.

How can we truly heal our society if we haven't yet reconciled the conflicting voices within ourselves?

Our systems often fail to provide formal rapprochement or reparations for the persisting behaviors that cause deep trauma across generations

Instead, we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of classifying and labeling one another, oversimplifying complex human beings down to a single identity

This impulse to compartmentalize is not only problematic and dangerous, but it is deeply degrading and insulting to our inherent richness

The path to reconciliation is not easy, especially when external differences seem to threaten our most basic values and beliefs

However, to address these outside divides, we must first face our own internal emotional extremes and conflicting voices

It is time to move past the labels and begin the hard work of true, lasting connection.

In 2021, after giving birth to my daughter, my health fell apart. I went from being a healthy, active person in her early 30s to experiencing major digestive issues and acute pain-flares throughout the left half of my body on a daily basis.

Racism is not your burden to carry as your identity. You can acknowledge the impact, choose how you respond, and still create moments of learning—even when the emotional labor should never have been yours to begin with.

Racism isn't just about the major headlines; it’s the daily emotional cost of "tiny" events and microaggressions

From being ignored in a store line to constantly navigating racial dynamics, the cumulative effect is a level of exhaustion that is almost too powerful to put into words

Chaos and confusion are everywhere today, rooted in our deepest differences

While many of us believe that goodness can prevail, we are often held back by a history of stubbornness and foolishness that has caused irreversible damage

These crises are the ramifications of what happens when we fail to repair emotional injuries at the individual and collective levels

True healing cannot happen if we simply glaze over the pain we cause or expect others to move on without owning our part in the injury

When prejudice is passed down or power remains unchecked, we continue to rub salt into raw wounds

We must do better and find a way to repair what has been broken.

This Cycle of Hate Will End

We may be living through a cycle of fear, anger, and hatred—but cycles can change. What our ancestors endured helped shape the future we experience today. And even in difficult times, we can hold onto hope that future generations will inherit something better. ❤️

If you've felt behind or stressed, or felt like you're falling short of some standard that should be within reach by now, you're not imagining it and you're not alone.
