leave a comment by luke slott in uncategorized dear friends here s a brief announcement about my first month on patreon and the next month ahead on the roadtoportland greetings from phoenix arizona to become a patron of my tours or to learn about patreon visit patreon com lukeslott learning about racism in america 24 feb 2018 leave a comment by luke slott in uncategorized as i leave the american south for the second time and move on to the next phase of the roadtoportland i m thinking of last year s southerntour my 2017 journey through the south was an education at the beginning of the tour i was struck by a comment made to me by an uber driver in washington dc when i told him i was setting out on a tour of the south he said at least you re the right color he was african american growing up in ireland the subject of racism and its history in america was not something i knew much about we had other problems in ireland sectarianism nationalism terrorism to name a few traveling through the us over the past year however i find myself with a growing eagerness to understand this most challenging issue in american society as i looked back through my southern tour diary i found these clips below of a conversation i had one day with a local resident in birmingham alabama i didn t get this man s last name but he shared the same first name as my father and brother michael sitting at the site of the 1963 birmingham bombing when the ku klux klan bombed a sunday morning church congregation killing 4 children and injuring 22 michael told me the story of the harrowing events that took place in birmingham and about the work of rev fred shuttlesworth who played a key role alongside dr martin luther king in the beginnings of the civil rights movement in america the more i talk to friends about racism here in the us the more i understand it to be something far more ferocious than a merely abhorrent way of thinking it seems more like a kind of disease of perception a distorting blindness that cripples the mind of its thinker when we perpetrate acts or entertain ideas of racism be it in the institutionalized structures of society the unwitting biases of our impulses or in the secret judgments of our hearts we not only harm those we hate but we make ourselves fools and victims of a great lie to consign a person s identity and worth to their mere membership of a particular group race or otherwise is to be blind to the complex multidimensional reality of every individual human being including our own selves i hope in my travels through america to arrive at a better understanding of the disease of racism its various forms its history its causes and symptoms and the demanding nature of its remedy in my efforts to understand some elements of that remedy a friend shared with me this passage written by shoghi effendi in 1938 let the white make a supreme effort in their resolve to contribute their share to the solution of this problem to abandon once for all their usually inherent and at times subconscious sense of superiority to correct their tendency towards revealing a patronizing attitude towards the members of the other race to persuade them through their intimate spontaneous and informal association with them of the genuineness of their friendship and the sincerity of their intentions and to master their impatience of any lack of responsiveness on the part of a people who have received for so long a period such grievous and slow healing wounds let the negroes through a corresponding effort on their part show by every means in their power the warmth of their response their readiness to forget the past and their ability to wipe out every trace of suspicion that may still linger in their hearts and minds let neither think that the solution of so vast a problem is a matter that exclusively concerns the other at the time of writing in 1938 negro was a commonly used and socially accepted word beyond the counsels in the above quotation i m also beginning to understand that the remedy to racism in america and the world demands far more than the mere examining and adjusting of the intentions of our hearts so deeply ingrained is this disease in the civilization we have built that its remedy seems to require a complete reformation in the structures of society in our systems of education and even in the architectural planning of our cities neighborhoods and homes if the world is not to be deprived of the untapped talents and capacities of millions of people surely the remedy to racism requires the conscientious participation of the whole of society as i sat with michael that day in kelly ingram park looking at the site of the bombing it was a remark he made at the end of our conversation that spoke to me the loudest it s not just a black man s issue direct youtube link youtube com playlist list plybvavvxfe5adqeknlex9yjb qe2sxtuz if you d like to become a patron of my tours visit patreon com lukeslott next stop new mexico
