The storming of the Capitol highlighted yet another example of racist law enforcement policy . As President-elect Biden said in responding to the situation, "No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol," he said. "We all know that's true, and it is unacceptable."

Recognizing racist policies and ideas and acknowledging and confronting these policies and ideas is antiracist.

Ibrim X. Kendi, in How To Be An Antiracist, clarifies, "The good news is that racist and antiracist are not fixed identities. We can be a racist one minute and an antiracist the next. What we say about race, what we do about race, in each moment determines what--not who--we are."
