Many White Americans always complain that African American leadership (Jesse Jackson, Al Shapton), are stirring up problems in American. How would you (a White American Person) bring better race relations in the America?
I have been in many conversations with my white friends or coworkers who have an opinion on race relations. They complain that African American leadership is trying to divide America and not bring African Americans into main stream society. I would ask this important question. What are you doing to bring race relations together in American? If you are not part of any organizations, any group or taking part in bring better race relations, then that person has nothing to say about it.
In other words, these individuals are nothing but an arm-chair coach. You can complain that a basketball/football coach is not doing his job. Yet if you switch places with that coach for a day or a month, then you would have a different perspective and would not be easily to criticize that coach.
Therefore, if you are actively in a some church, civil, education or any organization to bring better race relations, then you can critize the current African American leadership. I am not trying to start a riot or anything, but I seeking knowledge and understanding. My goal is to bring the better race relations to all Americans. I want to find a way to present or open the minds people without starting into a fight. That old saying goes “never talk about race, religion, or politics” Yet, if we do not talk about it, then how can any healing be done. In a nutshell, I want to open the minds of white America to the pains of racism and hatred. From past experience, those with closed minds will never open their minds to any thing new. For example, many people will not understand or feel another person’s pain until they get sick. NO PAIN, NO GAIN. .
I would like to present this question to white Americans. What would you do to bring better race relations in America?
