Microaggressions seem like such small things, but they often have a huge and negative impact emotionally and psychologically, even if that is not the intention of the speaker. The victim is left feeling confused and hurt, wondering if the speaker even realized what they had just said, and the true impact of their statement or question on a black individual. Some of these careless statements still linger and sting even after years. That's why we created this handbook for anti-racists. The authors of this book are two, black Canadian siblings of Jamacian descent, who believe in the creation of a better world for all of us, beginning by learning and teaching acceptance and empathy for all peoples.
