Heather C. McGhee : Racism has a cost for everyone

Heather C. McGhee·TEDWomen 2019
Racism has a cost for every one
Summary
For a long time, activities to stop racism are continuing, though, racism is still widely spreading, impacts on public policies, and remains divided.

For example, it’s said that black people are gangs, drugs, and crimes more than white, and then black people couldn’t use some public areas. 1)
A park is for white only, but it’s funded by all citizens. 2)
Even though a loan was not fair for everyone, it led to a financial crisis. 3)
In a factory, white workers think that they ain’t voting yes if the blacks are voting yes. 4) OMG!

The speaker suggests that only a person having a privilege gets benefit, it leads to dividing and a huge loss. About public areas, redistribution must be fair. Investing in our greatest asset means to invest in all of our people. It creates a better world.
