COLORED PEOPLE:
The STRIPES of Healing
Founding Statement:
This biweekly newsletter will seek to explain the pain and suffering mainly people of color endure through no fault of their own. The dehumanizing excuses our people always seem to elicit from people in power that make our Christian Brothers and Sisters accept their reasoning as if it was uttered by the Almighty. Lastly what I see with my own eyes begs the question from my conscience. “Are we loving or can we really love our neighbor as ourselves”.

This post follows a post I laid out on my Facebook and dovetails right into my podcast ‘Out In Black’. It deals with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion while explaining the origin story behind the push to treat everyone with decency and order in America while bearing and battling fierce resistance.
Now, this phraseology of mine has come about after many years of walking amongst my White brothers and sisters with the purpose of understanding their reluctance to accept some basic truths. Here it is in Black Folk sense.
‘You don’t have to have had a hand in creating a system that you now benefit from’. In other words, White Supremacy and White Privilege is real. These systems were created to keep every other race oppressed and suppressed. Now, that is how you will answer all your White family, friends, co-workers and political commentators that throw it up in your face about how you need to come into the 21st Century.
Enjoy the video. More to come.
