  • Today we will be exploring the concept, purpose and practice of integration. What was the goal? Did we hit the mark? It seems we are still separate and still unequal. What went wrong? What would need to happen for true integration?
    How do we Build and Sustain the Village in a time of Polarization, Segregation and Displacement?

    As someone who was born and raised (and currently living) in Tulsa, it amazes me that there is such a conversation about Black Wall Street. The city and the state of Oklahoma has tried its hardest to not talk about it or claim it’s something in the past and we should move on, while simultaneously commemorating the okc bombing, which is a absolute slap in the face to Black people in Oklahoma. Just want to tell you guys that there are still Black people in Tulsa and we are still suffering from the impact of the massacre almost 100 years later💁🏾

      Narcissism Exposed 101 as far as I know they haven’t. I believe back in the early 2000s there was some talk about reparations but it never went anywhere. Just recently, some relatives of survivors filed a lawsuit hoping to finally get some type of reparations. Other than that, the area of the city that was Black Street is slowly being gentrified. There are several black businesses in the area, but not nearly as much as it used to be.

    Education. As a black man, I tell people my role isn't to teach the white person about racism. They need to grow up. I say: read a book or have a black person as a friend. That said, I wake up everyday with a mission of fighting this stupidity whenever it pops up. You can call it my ptsd. My friends know better now, after George Floyd. I'm educating them of what "whiteness" means and how race is an invented concept (colorism and featurism is idiotic). It's amazing they've come to agree, can stay. Those who don't, don't want to learn, can move on. All of these people think they knew everything, but have so little understanding of economics, history and its consequences.

    We have been totally removed from self, currently we are facing identity crisis and loss cultural history. We have been locked and boxed out of this American economy and made to be permanent servants to everyone else’s dreams and aspirations.

    Dr. Joy, you look absolutely amazingly regal.
    Bermuda as you know is the majority-black island and very very segregated. Haven grown-up military but after dad was killed in Vietnam my mom chose to bring four children ages 16-7 years of age to Greenboro NC where my dad had bought our home. So, attending A&T State University was the best most important step after how we had been raised around the world. Each summer we would return to the island with my mom's parents there were 13 grandchildren in the same house, on a BLACK Island. It was a beautiful balancing act when we were NOT on island.
    Yes, there is a place in Shashamoni Ethiopia, that the Emperor had given to any who want to return to Afrika from the diaspora.

I just listened to a child of an immigrant who moved to the US and she said at first her parents was for black people. But she said as time progress went on her parents started to say black people need to work hard because media is saying this media is saying that. The daughter also said her parents does not have any black friends so this shows you that media plays a huge part for ignorance. This is a cycle.media..the lack of exposure of our excellence increase ignorance

I can only imagine the conversation this description would bring in white setting. Those American 🇺🇸 appliance companies knew what they were doing! Frigidaire….🙄
    I can only imagine what the white lady electrician’s response was like with white home owners.
    For me, integration has been a mixed bag. I lived in a predominantly white neighborhood as a kid and I remember the neighbors always wanting to know what my dad (he’s a retired engineer) did for a living to afford the new boat, and the new cars we had! My father went to work wearing a suit and tie each day, which made them wonder even more. I had neighbors asking me questions about my father every time I played with their kids. After telling my parents, they told me to say my dad just goes to work like everyone else! 😂

    I think it should be more clearly explained that one of the primary results of segregation is it made it easier to target black people with destructive policy/practices. In the book Color of Law the author talks about how once you sectioned black people off into specific areas it opened the door for other racist policies. You can have unequal funding for schools because of separate school districts, black areas were zoned industrial so you have factories in close proximity exposing them to more pollution and a myriad of other issues.
    The analogy of "The white man's ice is colder" is too harsh on blacks when you have this situation. When as a group you are stuck with all this failure then yes their "ice is colder" because they have all the resources and policies to make it so, not because we as a people are inherently inferior or feel we are.

    It's so irritating that we so often take extra time in our discussions to assure non black people that we believe in all humanities and there was only one race and there's no real differences between people. Tell that to the ones crushing and killing us. Whether it's cultural, historical, or mere "superficial" difference in features, hair, skin tone, non atrophied pineal gland, physique...you get the picture? Example if It wasn't important that the figure of Jesus was black or white, there wouldn't be such a monstrous worldwide centuries long effort to make sure he's portrayed otherwise. If there isn't significance difference between the so called races then why are black people continually persecuted for it, and why are WE the ones always apologizing for it ?

      Couldn't agree with you more sister and there are other scientists such as our own Dr. Ann Brown who doesn't buy into the 'single creation story'. Again we are letting the whites dominate the narratives using their research. There are just too many strikingly distinct differences within our natural essence and worldviews that sets us apart and even Sigmund Freud contends that there is a vast difference between the Caucasians and Afrikans.... I do think this is a matter for our future Afrikan scientists. Check out this lecture with Dr. Ann Brown czcams.com/video/A1QBVawnWhM/video.html

    Really enjoyed watching this video, particularly the Dr's observation of her pride in the kindness of her children. I agree. What we are presented with in America about what gives or adds to a person's value is contingent upon achieving what descendents of Europe have convinced us is required to establish our existence as valid, worthy even, and that's is not true. Even though the "American Dream" gives many children fodder for how they should live, it is limiting belief. Amplifying the effort and reward that comes from kindness is a truly defining trait.
