I. Confronting Our Racism: Implicit Bias Videos

As UUs, it is our responsibility to be aware of how our biases affect others and learn how to navigate them.

These videos are part of my CASA* training.The prelude for this training was -

"As people delving with the problems of racism, it is our responsibility to

be aware of how our biases affect others and learn how to navigate them."

Please watch the following 4 videos (all 10 minutes or less) and confront your biases. These videos will also help answer questions about what and what not to ask people of different races.
