The Way Forward: I Get It
from IEM APPROACH Hosted by Dr. Eric Tangumonkem
“If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.” Eldridge Cleaver Not too long ago, I wrote something on Facebook about racism, and one of my contacts who happens to be African-American told me outright that I was not born here and I do not understand anything about racism. This person is not the only one who has told me that. I have not yet earned the right to speak on this issue because I do not understand it. We are one human family, and it will be unfair for me to write a book about such a sensitive issue like this without mentioning the African-American situation. After all, it is not me, but Martin Luther King, Jr. who said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.” Order your resources: https://www.iemapproach.com/shop #iemappraoch, #ditawa, #Racism, #discrimination, #segregation, #race, #ethnocentrism, #tolerance, #superioritycomplex, #inferioritycomplex, #hatred #whitefrigility, #criticalracetheory, #BLM, #Whitesupramacy
