Read on for a guide to understanding racism through helpful video titles you can search for on YouTube...

What do you actually know about racism? Granted, its a loaded word. However, the current events of the past week compelled me to curate a playlist that anyone could pick apart: educational for anyone whom wants to understand the meaning and history of this word. If you're not interested in learning about black history or racism in the United States, then this blog post is not for you. I promise you that by the end of this playlist, you will have an unofficial degree in Black History and Diasporia studies from Professer ADU at Stardoll Academy, so go ahead and binge watch this playlist while in quarantine. 

(*I've highlighted my recommended picks for anyone whom is too busy, but still wants to gain an understanding.)
