Level 1 - Internalized Racism - racism that you can’t see within yourself. This also means you can hate yourself. For example, you realizing that White people gets attention and you secretly wish you were White for whatever reason.

Level 4 - Structural Racism - This occurs among Institutions and society. Examples: The on-going Drug War, real estate redlining and blockbusting, generification.

When people think “racism”, they only think of either level 1 or 2. When I talk about it, it’s mostly level 4 and 3. When I attack a person’s statement, it’s level 2 because I have NO idea if they are level 1 until I see the BODY of their work.

So yeah… there are levels to this game.
