From the Ted Talk by Dr. Phillip Atiba Goff, Rashad Robinson, Dr. Bernice King, Anthony D. Romero: The path to ending systemic racism in the US

Unscramble the Blue Letters

PAG: So I guess that's paalrlity to me, being the psychologist of bias. I'll say that just yesterday we had an officer in Denver who posted on scaoil media himself and two other officers saying, "Let's go start a riot." He was fierd that day. I wrroy about all the officers that the FBI has now, for almost half a decade, been warning us, law enforcement and unions being infiltrated by white setsuaimprcs. And all the ocfeirfs that have social media accounts, but they're private. You know, the ilvnbsiie Institute has put some things forward. We're not tialnkg seriously about the domestic trriersom threat that white supremacy represents. So the first thing that we've got to do is we've got to take it seriously. We have to actually say out loud, and I can't believe that on a day like today, or a week like this week, I have to say out loud, white supremacy is alive and well and a driving force of American politics. This shouldn't be controversial. I shouldn't be looking forward to getting hate mail in my inbox for it, but that's the reality.

Original Text

PAG: So I guess that's partially to me, being the psychologist of bias. I'll say that just yesterday we had an officer in Denver who posted on social media himself and two other officers saying, "Let's go start a riot." He was fired that day. I worry about all the officers that the FBI has now, for almost half a decade, been warning us, law enforcement and unions being infiltrated by white supremacists. And all the officers that have social media accounts, but they're private. You know, the Invisible Institute has put some things forward. We're not talking seriously about the domestic terrorism threat that white supremacy represents. So the first thing that we've got to do is we've got to take it seriously. We have to actually say out loud, and I can't believe that on a day like today, or a week like this week, I have to say out loud, white supremacy is alive and well and a driving force of American politics. This shouldn't be controversial. I shouldn't be looking forward to getting hate mail in my inbox for it, but that's the reality.
