Racism is engrained in the fabric of American systems, structures, and practices, and as such, has direct implications for the quality of life among racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S., – namely, their health and socio-political well-being. However, racial/ethnic groups continue to differ in their beliefs about the prevalence of racism in the U.S., specifically, anti-Black racism. In this presentation I will discuss how we can understand individuals’ divergent perceptions around the existence of anti-Black racism and the downstream consequences of acknowledging anti-Black racism for individuals’ health and social change behaviors.
