Racist Policies Are Not Complicated
Episode description
Immigration is complicated, racist policies are not. It’s not an easy thing for any nation to work through when it comes to taking care of the citizens and those seeking a better life. The policies around it can be difficult to build out, however treating people as humans is not complicated at all. It requires basic decency and respect for all human life and apparently that is complicated for this current administration.
Segment 1: What’s Happening Now
It’s time to talk about the history of othering in America and how we’re seeing it play it now at the souther border. Getting to the root of the racist policies of America throughout history and that chose to ignore the basic humanity of different groups of people on this episode. A lot has been happening with family separation, childhood detention, now family detention, and deportation of parents without children. A lot of horrible things happening and it’s time to get honest about the discussion.
Segment 2: Self-Care
Self education is core to self-care. It’s time to take ownership of your own education and learning about what’s happening here in America, getting your news from reputable sources, learning American history, and World history. An educated electorate is a powerful electorate. An educated person is a powerful person. We are taught the basics of our own history and are given the snapshots of current events in our media, so it’s important that we go deeper and learn more on our own. Educating oneself is an important part of self-care because we can be more thoughtful in our own ideals and actions.
Segment 3: Black Excellence
Black Excellence is human excellence in this episode! I’m spotlighting the nameless people who are doing the work at the southern border, sounding the alarm, amplifying the message on social media and in main stream media, and donating their time and money for the basic humanity of people seeking help from America who are being treated as lesser than by our administration. Seeing the many people fighting around the clock reminds us that human excellence is all around us, because it is within each of us.
