But in recent years these inequalities have been more visible than ever. From police brutality to the disparity in social services, education and opportunity, Americans of every color, orientation and class are seeing our history and our nation in a new light. And that\u2019s inspiring a national conversation. For this episode of the RCause in Conversation series, we had an open, honest conversation of our own with RingCentral employees to get their perspectives on racial inequality\u2014and the ways we can all become better allies and actively contribute to positive change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>What, exactly is \u201csystemic racism?\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u201csystemic racism\u201d refers to systems and structures that purposely put particular groups of people at a disadvantage, and the outcomes that result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-49107 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RCause_Logo_01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Edward Odom, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Solutions Engineer, RingCentral<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kira Arnold, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Security Analyst, RingCentral<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>What is \u201csystemic racism\u201d and how do you think it has affected marginalized populations?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Edward Odom (EO): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSystemic racism is embedded in our structures, procedures and processes. I creates disparities in a lot of our success indicators&#8230;what I mean by that is things like wealth, criminal justice system, employment&#8230; What you discover if you really dig deep into our system is that there is systemic racism that has been historically embedded in them\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kira Arnold (KA):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cA lot of our current policies, laws, procedures that we use today in 2021 were established decades ago. At the time they were established, there likely were intentional negative effects to affect Black Americans, which in turn affected other marginalized groups as well.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the intentions that were set years and years ago are not still here in 2021, we still see the same negative effects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>\u201cFood deserts\u201d a classic example systemic racism<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KA: \u201c{Food deserts are] a great example of one of the ways systemic racism plays out today. Just not having access to a grocery store to get fresh food and produce.. Some may argue \u201cwhy don&#8217;t you just drive to the next town over?\u201d but you have to remember where these communities are located, and things like \u201chave they been paid enough money for them to own a car? Is there adequate public transportation?\u201d A food desert isn\u2019t just that main location, it&#8217;s all the infrastructure around it as well\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>What is the difference between \u201cequality\u201d and \u201cequity?\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EO: \u201cEquality just means that every individual is given the same resources and opportunities.. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equity<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recognizes that each person has a different circumstance and allocates resources differently to ensure an equal outcome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KA: \u201cThere are many things in the world that do have natural barriers and natural obstacles,however, there are a lot of &#8230;needless barriers in the world and so a good place for a lot of us to start is instead of trying to help people get around (this particular)barrier, start by thinking<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is this barrier even necessary?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>How can one contribute to a more equitable society\/ workplace?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EO: \u201cSometimes it&#8217;s just as simple as signing a petition.Other times it&#8217;s a matter of picking up the phone and calling your local senator or congressman because you saw something that is not right that needs to be corrected&#8230;in my opinion there is no excuse to do nothing. Some people have more access and capability to do things but there (are) still things you can do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KA: \u201cTaking part in your local elections; don&#8217;t just vote every four years, vote every year. Cities and towns hold elections all the time and those local politicians really are the ones who make the biggest impact in your and your communities day to day&#8230;getting involved at the local level if it\u2019s too hard to follow at the national level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Closing the gap<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no quick fix for racial inequality.. But there is still a lot one can do to support those who are affected by racism and inequality..
