Implication

Experimental analysis reveals White people's perceptions of antiracism organizations vary by focus, suggesting implications for community engagement.

Key Points

  • White Americans viewed power-focused antiracism organizations as less effective, reducing community engagement.
  • Black Americans showed little variation in their perceptions of different organizational goals, highlighting a unique perspective.
  • When informed of Black Americans' views, White people's perceptions of power-focused organizations improved significantly.
  • These findings offer a strategic approach to educate White people on dismantling White power and privilege.
