White Privilege in America Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

What is white privilege? It’s a term used for associating societal privileges that benefit white people in this country and beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. The concept is to analyze how racism and racialized societies affect the lives of white or white-skinned people verses people of color.

Whites in society enjoy advantages that non-whites do not experience, as “an invisible package of unearned assets”. White privilege denotes both obvious and less obvious passive advantages that white people may not recognize they have, which distinguishes them from overt bias or prejudice.

‘The Lynchings Of African Americans in this Country’ Tonight, on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

The Equal Justice Initiative will open the nation’s first memorial dedicated to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama on April 26. The new museum is also dedicated to slavery and explores slavery, lynchings, segregation and modern inequality issues that will have interactive content, which will confront visitors with a history of some of this nation’s horrendous past.

It’s a painful topic but a part of our history rarely discussed.

The body of Rubin Stacy hanging from a tree in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, July 19, 1935. He was lynched by a mob for allegedly attacking a white woman.

Between 1877 and 1950 Public torture and the murder of African Americans was common in the south. This story begins on February 1, 1893, in the town of Paris, Texas, but it could just as easily have begun on 4,000 other dates and in dozens of other American localities. During the American Civil War, Paris had a population of fewer than 1,000 people. About a third of them were black slaves, who were eventually freed in the wake of the Union victory and the abolition of slavery in 1865. But despite passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which formally outlawed slavery, the postwar decades were widespread with systematic, vicious violence against black communities in the South.

It’s a painful story of America’s history of racial injustice. However, in order to heal the deep pain of our present we must address the truth of our past.

Music Mogul ‘Mathew Knowles’ on this weeks “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Mathew Knowles new book, “Racism from the Eyes of a Child” Colorism, internalized racism, and the effects on our nation’s youth are all trending topics. Young people or some people don’t like embracing their color. And light skin vs. dark skin has always been an issue in the black community. It’s a necessary dialogue about a generation-old taboo and its traumatic after effects.

Music mogul Mathew Knowles has sparked the conversation with his new book, Racism from the Eyes of a Child, which uses the underpinnings of his memoir, growing up  in the 50’s-70’s, as a backdrop to lessons about America’s most segregated era.

Join Host Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio, as she sit down in our studios with Mathew Knowles about his newly released book and the discussion it has sparked on social media.

In the meantime, sound off here and we’ll see you on the air.
