THE FOUR REALMS:
• Values, beliefs, attitudes, and feelings
• Can be expressed in the fear of
difference, prejudice, and stereotyping.
• Example: the belief that Euro-American
culture and traditions are inherently
superior
1. PERSONAL
EXAMPLES OF PERSONAL RACISM

of color
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

• Acting on fears, prejudices, and
stereotypes.
• This can be conscious or unconscious
behaviors, such as discrimination,
condescension, verbal abuse, or
physical violence.

• Can be intentional or unintentional
THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Although African
Americans account for
only 12% of the
population, 44% of all
prisoners in the U.S. are
African American. In
2002, the average
prison term of African
Americans was 69%
longer than the term for
whites convicted of the
same offense.

normal and worthy of our time and
attention.
• Affect what we understand to be normal
or appropriate styles of behavior,
expression, and thought.
