This webinar will be a collaborative inquiry and discussion on the racialization processes of Black, White, and Asian communities and the unique manifestations of the White Supremacist state in the context of increased police brutality and criminalization of Black people, rising xenophobia and hate crimes against Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), and the resurgence of state sanctioned terrorism and extremism against BIPOC communities. The purpose of this webinar is to promote public education on the invisible structures and manifestations of the White Supremacist state in America and the manufactured, historical animosity which has maintained deep divisions among BIPOC communities. The webinar will bring greater awareness on the reality of power dynamics between and within groups, especially related to the goals of racial justice movements today.
