So, prejudice is about what people believe. But discrimination is a matter of action. Discrimination is simply described as any unequal treatment of different groups of people. Most of us think about discrimination in terms of specific actions, like calling someone a racial slur, or refusing to do business with a certain type of person. But racism can be bigger than one individual. Let's go to the Thought Bubble to talk about institutional racism. Institutional prejudice and discrimination are the biases that are built into the operation of society's institutions, like schools, banking systems, and the labor force. The concept of institutional racism was highlighted by civil rights activists Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton in the 1960s, who argued that institutional racism is harder to identify and therefore less often condemned by society. Carmichael and Hamilton compared society's response to the suffering caused by white terrorists bombing black churches, to the lack of attention given to thousands of black children who suffered for different reasons - like from the lack of access to quality housing, food, healthcare, or schooling. Bombing black churches is an overt act of racism, motivated by racial hatred, so it's easy to understand as racism. By contrast, elevated rates of sickness and death - which stem from structural disadvantages aren't the fault of any one individual's racial animus. Need Assignment Help?
