How can we begin to define the term "anti-Blackness?" The "My Language. My Choice: Words Mean Things" campaign gives a starting point. Anti-Blackness is a term for those distinct actions, behaviors, and systems that are directed specifically towards dominating or subordinating Black people within U.S. American society. Anti-Blackness includes the act of labeling features of Blackness and Black cultural artifacts—such as clothes, speech, hairstyles, and music—as desirable, without acknowledging the humanity of Black people.
