Anti-Racism: A Featured Controversy from Issues & Controversies

February 8, 2021
Protestors with signs in front of wall with "BLACK LIVES MATTER" on it

Featured in Issues & Controversies:
ANTI-RACISM: Will the Anti-Racist Movement Help Reduce Inequities Between Black and White Americans?

Will the anti-racist movement help reduce inequities between black and white Americans? Be sure to check out Issues & Controversies’ complete and unbiased coverage of this divisive issue. Here is a sample of the pro/con arguments on both sides of the issue.

Try Issues & Controversies today!

SUPPORTERS ARGUE
Acknowledging and aggressively addressing the role systemic racism, anti-Black bias, and white privilege have played and continue to play in the United States are essential to reducing racial injustice. More awareness—not less—of how race affects each person’s experience of the world is the way forward.

OPPONENTS ARGUE
The anti-racist movement’s over-emphasis on race is only worsening and prolonging racial divisions in the United States. Vague denunciations of systemic racism and baseless accusations of prejudice will do nothing to reduce disparities between Black and white Americans. Color-blindness, not race-consciousness, is the way forward.

The pro/con article links to rich related resources that enhance the debate. Students and researchers can explore the “By the Numbers” data, primary sources that provide context, court cases, debate videos, NPR podcasts, infographics, editorials, a Reuters® newsfeed, a chronology, and a bibliography and further resources. Plus, discussion questions are provided to inspire critical thinking and analysis.

What Is Issues & Controversies?

The award-winning Issues & Controversies database helps researchers understand today’s crucial issues by exploring hundreds of hot topics in politics, government, business, society, education, and popular culture. Updated weekly, with an extensive backfile, Issues & Controversies offers in-depth articles—each presenting both sides of an issue clearly, coherently, and without bias—made to inspire thought-provoking debates. Its straightforward presentation of the key facts, arguments, history, and current context of today’s most important and timely issues makes the database an ideal resource for research papers, debate preparation, and persuasive writing assignments.
