QUESTION: What is Racial Intelligence?

ANSWER: Racial Intelligence represents an individual's ability to understand the concepts of race and racism in a way that prevents the production of issues in your interactions with individuals from other racial groups. Furthermore, Racial Intelligence can be measured by an individual’s internal capacity for effectively analyzing and understanding their thoughts, emotions, and attitudes towards people from other races. Racial Intelligence is also measured by an individual’s cognitive and instinctual capacity to engage in effective critical thinking and decision making when engaging in cross-racial interactions. Finally, Racial Intelligence is characterized by the ability to use race and racism as a platform for promoting unity, equality, harmony, peace, and justice.
