Racism Wants Your Silence: It’s Time to Speak Out by Dexter Dias

3 years ago TEDx

“Will the horrific death of George Floyd and the global Black Lives Matter protests be a turning-point in the struggle for racial justice? Human rights lawyer Dexter Dias QC (http://twitter.com/DexterDiasQC) believes they can be – but only if we use our power and privilege as citizens to demand change in every one of our spheres of influence. Dexter uses his research on four continents for his bestselling book “The Ten Types of Human” and his three decades’ experience of representing the families of people of colour who have been killed in state custody to expose how “race” is a myth used to justify inequality and discrimination. He argues that racism needs our silence. The antidote is for us to commit to being anti-racist. And the time is now.”

This talk was recorded remotely for a virtual TEDxExeter event (http://www.tedxexeter.com) in June 2020 exploring racism and racial justice.
