Podcast Episode 1: Understanding How Racism is like a Virus


This podcast explores the concept If Racism was a virus and is based on an article by Dr Shungu H. M’gadzah.

It reflects and links to the key principles of Dr Shungu’s book Understanding and Dealing with Everyday Racism- The Six Stages Framework.


In this episode Dr Shungu, Gari and Raphael consider the following:


  • Introducing the concept of the racism virus as outlined in Dr Shungu’s article

  • Explore what viruses are and how this links to The Six Stages Framework

  • The analogy has greater utility when we focus on human biases and discriminations

  • Understanding biases and prejudices and how racist views are spread.

  • Expand on the analogy of racism as a virus and how it can spread silently throughout communities

  • Epidemic vs pandemic vs endemic and the means of transmission of viruses

  • Asymptomatic racism, low key racist language and why we should worry about this.

  • What causes the racism baseline to vary? And what are the dangers if the baseline lowers? (Six Stages and biological baseline)

  • Consider what we learnt from the COVID 19 virus, diseases of the brain vs the mind

  • What antigens are and how these markers can fit into the analogy

  • The Six Stages Framework as a psychological tool for mapping the development of the racism virus and antigens- its signs and symptoms
