Here’s a sound bite from our latest episode where we discussed some solutions of what’s going on in our country and here’s one I came up with.
After the rioting and protesting stops what is the solution moving forward?! Learning about systemic racism I’ve realized that I was lucky enough that my parents were able to move us and go to school out in the suburbs my WHOLE LIFE! Knowing that this would set me up on a better path for life. I went to school with predominantly white kids and learned how to become friends with them and all other races as well. So growing up in education I didn’t realize it til later that they barely taught me about people who look like me. Why is that?Why don’t they teach us in history about the Tulsa Race Riots? Hip hop and sports has been a huge vehicle for all races to interact and learn about our culture. I think one change is for people to understand and learn about the black culture. Not feel threatened or intimidated around them. Understand that this fight has been going on for hundreds of years and I’m sure if you have kids like I do, you wouldn’t want them treated like an animal but like a human. My mom taught me the Golden Rule as a child and that’s burned me in my time, but I’m a firm believer that if you give love you will receive love. Love you guys and hope you’re doing well
