Antiracism and Modern-Day Racism

Antiracism and Modern Racism in Counseling

Racism is still experienced by clients and counselors of color. The forms that racism takes in U.S. society today are different from a generation ago when segregation, open harassment, and discrimination were the norm – or before that, when overt violence and even lynching were common. Today, racism has gone underground in ways that make it harder to detect in society, partly because it is so integrated into our culture.

This one hour course introduces the concepts of modern racism and everyday racism, describing their manifestations in modern culture and in the counseling room.
