Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Righteous Cry Out In 1988, our Lord deposited the seed of Stay in the Race within my heart, and now, after going through many experiences, suffering, pain, rejoicing and being obedient to the voice of our Lord, he has brought forth the manifestation of that very seed. Our time is not always the time of our Lord's time, but it is always on time. There is pain as we are squeezed for the oil to pour out for the testimony to be formed, for the soul to come forth, and for the healing to manifest. There is pain for the sin to be covered by our Lord's love and forgiveness. There is pain for the oil to flow, but there is joy in the strength of our Lord, there is grace in the midst of our weakness, and there is peace as understanding comes. We cry out to the Lord, and he hears them all! Stay in the Race Network does just that, networking in bringing open doors to whosoever desire to enter, bringing God's word with encouragement and hope where darkness rules for light to come in and mostly that whatever our hands find to do, doing it unto our Lord as he gived increases above and beyond.

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.

Download or read book Race Removal and the Right to Remain written by Samantha Seeley and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who had the right to live within the newly united states of America? In the country's founding decades, federal and state politicians debated which categories of people could remain and which should be subject to removal. The result was a white Republic, purposefully constructed through contentious legal, political, and diplomatic negotiation. But, as Samantha Seeley demonstrates, removal, like the right to remain, was a battle fought on multiple fronts. It encompassed tribal leaders' fierce determination to expel white settlers from Native lands and free African Americans' legal maneuvers both to remain within the states that sought to drive them out and to carve out new lives in the West. Never losing sight of the national implications of regional conflicts, Seeley brings us directly to the battlefield, to middle states poised between the edges of slavery and freedom where removal was both warmly embraced and hotly contested. Reorienting the history of U.S. expansion around Native American and African American histories, Seeley provides a much-needed reconsideration of early nation building.
Download or read book That the Blood Stay Pure written by Arica L. Coleman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That the Blood Stay Pure traces the history and legacy of the commonwealth of Virginia's effort to maintain racial purity and its impact on the relations between African Americans and Native Americans. Arica L. Coleman tells the story of Virginia's racial purity campaign from the perspective of those who were disavowed or expelled from tribal communities due to their affiliation with people of African descent or because their physical attributes linked them to those of African ancestry. Coleman also explores the social consequences of the racial purity ethos for tribal communities that have refused to define Indian identity based on a denial of blackness. This rich interdisciplinary history, which includes contemporary case studies, addresses a neglected aspect of America's long struggle with race and identity.

Book excerpt: “I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” —The apostle Paul No one enters a race and then wanders off to play a game of checkers or look for four-leaf clovers. They have a word for that kind of person: loser. If you want to cross life’s finish line as a winner, you need to focus your energies and keep your eyes on the prize. This is a race you must win! And with God’s help, it’s a race you can win with flying colors. Drawing from the pages of the Bible, Pastor Greg Laurie presents stories of real people who stumbled and fell right out of the race—and others who picked themselves up, got back on the track, and ran straight for the goal . . . and the greatest Prize of all.
Download or read book One Drop written by Yaba Blay and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges narrow perceptions of Blackness as both an identity and lived reality to understand the diversity of what it means to be Black in the US and around the world What exactly is Blackness and what does it mean to be Black? Is Blackness a matter of biology or consciousness? Who determines who is Black and who is not? Who’s Black, who’s not, and who cares? In the United States, a Black person has come to be defined as any person with any known Black ancestry. Statutorily referred to as “the rule of hypodescent,” this definition of Blackness is more popularly known as the “one-drop rule,” meaning that a person with any trace of Black ancestry, however small or (in)visible, cannot be considered White. A method of social order that began almost immediately after the arrival of enslaved Africans in America, by 1910 it was the law in almost all southern states. At a time when the one-drop rule functioned to protect and preserve White racial purity, Blackness was both a matter of biology and the law. One was either Black or White. Period. Has the social and political landscape changed one hundred years later? One Drop explores the extent to which historical definitions of race continue to shape contemporary racial identities and lived experiences of racial difference. Featuring the perspectives of 60 contributors representing 25 countries and combining candid narratives with striking portraiture, this book provides living testimony to the diversity of Blackness. Although contributors use varying terms to self-identify, they all see themselves as part of the larger racial, cultural, and social group generally referred to as Black. They have all had their identity called into question simply because they do not fit neatly into the stereotypical “Black box”—dark skin, “kinky” hair, broad nose, full lips, etc. Most have been asked “What are you?” or the more politically correct “Where are you from?” throughout their lives. It is through contributors’ lived experiences with and lived imaginings of Black identity that we can visualize multiple possibilities for Blackness.

Or maybe younger men who are looking ahead to their gun lap, but want to live the rest of their lives with purpose and strength. This is no small thing.

The author of the New Testament book of Hebrews agrees...wrote, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (12:1 CSB). Perseverance.
