Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wisdom and insight acquired through people and books only becomes factious once we experience life"Slavery never really ended, it just took on a more, sophisticated form. Even then it was about the bottom line, and even now the same people are still laughing all the way to the bank. You're working just as hard as your ancestors four hundred years back, you are still living on the oppressor's property, and, you think you are, but you're still not getting paid!Google some blue chip companies and their boards of trustees, look who runs them! Everything one creates is an extension of self, and what one possesses on the inside: Corporations are man's mind made manifest. Don't look at it as just a bank, see old man Rothchild's vision.You are given just enough to get what you have been coaxed into believing you need and desire; the image of success and happiness being portrayed in the media spurs us on to work twice as hard leaving us with even less time for independent thinking: "Only he who dangles the carrot in front of the horse to keep it in motion gets to decide if it will ever get a bite"By creating an illusion of a nonexistent void inside of us, a sub message suggesting "you are not enough" is being conveyed to us every single day; "after using product x you will feel a whole lot more confident, fabulous or beautiful." These are subtle suggestions that not doing something about ones supposed flaws or imperfections is to the detriment of one's being, that one then cannot attain a certain level of beauty or success. These are Subtle suggestions that what we drive says something about our character, that this brand makes us relevant, that' that brand gives of a certain feeling or effect. If we allow ourselves to get sucked into this abyss, we become the horse chasing the carrot, we have to find our worth outside our material possessions. This is the struggle the current generation of black has to take upon themselves. We are tasked with redefining black; its capabilities, and how black thinks. Who are we outside of what we wear and who we have on speed dial? What remains after you take our big cars and the mansions? A common misconception is that money is success, that recognition from others is living your dream; why do we want the money? We want security, peace of mind, to explore and experience the world: In short, we want money to have the freedom to do and have the things that make us happy. Therefore: He who finds happiness, he is truly a success.
Download or read book I m a Man Who Happens To Be Black written by Brian Bolden and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-06-23 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a race, we can no longer hold the entire Caucasian race responsible for what their parents and grandparents did to our parents and grandparents because they had nothing to do with it. Through the actions of many men and women who happened to be white, I have learned that love has no color. Only racism, prejudice, and hate recognize color. We can't change the prejudice and attitudes of other people; we can change their attitudes by not living up to their prejudice. If we, as a human race, would forgive others just one-third of how much Jesus forgives us, there would be very little prejudice, racism, jealousy, and envy. As a race, many of must get out of this poverty mentality and realize that speaking proper English, getting an education and becoming successful are not limited to one race but open to all races. Many African Americans feel like they have to be defined by their race when in actuality, we should all be defined by our individuality. We have to come to the conclusion that we are one race; before we were defined by our color, we were the human race. We must understand that the best way to prove you are a man is to simply be a man. A real man doesn't feel like he has to prove he's a man, because he already knows he's a man.

Times Book Prize * Winner of the PEN Open Book Award * ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, NPR. Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Slate, Time Out New York, Vulture, Refinery 29, and many more . . . A provocative meditation on race, Claudia Rankine's long-awaited follow up to her groundbreaking book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric. Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV-everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.

Download or read book White Fragility written by Dr. Robin DiAngelo and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
