Acerca de esta escucha
In 2018, it is marked that a transformational year in American popular culture. In January, President Donald Trump signed H.R. 1242, the 400 Years of African-American History Act, into law, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the so-called African-American in this country. In February, superhero film Black Panther broke box office records with its predominantly black cast. As the year progressed, we witnessed social media memes titled “BBQ Becky,” “Permit Patty,” “Corner Store Caroline,” “Golf Cart Gail,” and more, all targeting white women for calling police on black Americans for participating in daily life. Gender strife also increased its pace as the women’s #MeToo movement saw the rise of a male counterpart #MGTOW, or “Men Going Their Own Way.”
How did we get here?
This is the question jazz musician and poet Rafa Selase asks as he journeys to the African Slave Coast in an attempt to reconcile a tumultuous past with present-day chaos. My Journey of Faith To The African Slave Coast, Reconciling a Past Not So Long Ago, documents his intense seven-day journey with a group of unexpected travel companions as he discovers some uncomfortable truths about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, religion, race, and gender. He delivers an unflinchingly honest critique of a nation birthed in atrocities and mired in identity politics, while also seeking to discover the true identity of a people whose past has been all but erased.
With six hours of vivid storytelling, Selase weaves in his trademark poetry (complete with original music in the audio version) and redefines what it means to be “woke” in America today. He offers solutions for how all Americans can reconcile with the tragedies of their national history, and creates a roadmap for black Americans to become the leaders they were born to be.

Historia
Not only do I use the Bible (many do); I have done my best to give the solution to a problem that has been spoken of from the founding of this nation. The book validates prophecy that has been buried under misunderstanding and abuses. It educates us on how the sensitive, controversial, and never-reconciled Black/White issue should be viewed and handled so as not to abuse anyone or to perpetuate oppression. The book takes the position that once this issue is reconciled, all similar issues are simultaneously addressed. All ethnicities are acknowledged. All oppression ceases.

Historia
Some people say that someone could act in a racist manner because of ignorance. Others say that racist people are being persuaded by others or copying others' behavior. However, none of this tells us how racism began or if we can get to the root cause. Racism is the assumption that one human race is superior to another. The intrinsic biological features of a person predetermine the social and moral features of the human.

Historia
Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the Black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the Black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American dream.

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

In Across That Bridge, Congressman John Lewis draws from his experience as a prominent leader of the civil rights movement to offer timeless wisdom, poignant recollections, and powerful principles for anyone interested in challenging injustices and inspiring real change toward a freer, more peaceful society. The civil rights movement gave rise to the protest culture we know today, and the experiences of leaders like Congressman Lewis, a close confidant to Martin Luther King, Jr., have never been more relevant.

Historia
You live in a dystopia. Every part of historical human existence in our world has been turned on its head. The world we live in is an inversion of what God created you to live in. All that is good is treated as though it were repugnant. All that is beautiful is treated as though it were repulsive. And the truth is forbidden while the most outrageous lies are exalted. This world did not become like this by accident or by inexorable forces of history. This world was engineered to be this way. It was designed to take the life your ancestors had and tear it apart.

“You cannot fix a problem you do not know you have.” So begins Emmanuel Acho in his essential guide to the truths Americans need to know to address the systemic racism that has recently electrified protests in all fifty states. In Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man, Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask—yet which all Americans need the answers to, now more than ever.

Fifty years ago Malcolm X told a White woman who asked what she could do for the cause, "Nothing." Dyson believes he was wrong. In Tears We Cannot Stop, he responds to that question. If we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.

The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic flaws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them.

Afua Hirsch is British. Her parents are British. She was raised, educated and socialised in Britain. Her partner, her daughter, her sister and the vast majority of her friends are British. So why is her identity and sense of belonging a subject of debate? The reason is simply because of the colour of her skin. Blending history, memoir and individual experiences, Afua Hirsch reveals the identity crisis at the heart of Britain today. Far from affecting only minority people, Britain is a nation in denial about its past and its present.

White men are finally realizing that simply not being racist isn’t enough to end racism. These men want deeper insight not only into how racism has harmed Black people, but, for the first time, into how it has harmed them. They are beginning to see that racism warps us all. Letters to My White Male Friends promises to help men who have said they are committed to change and to develop the capacity to see, feel and sustain that commitment so they can help secure racial justice for us all.

Historia
The dominant narrative, repeated in the media and from the angry mouths of politicians and activists, is the exact opposite of the reality. They paint a portrait of an America rife with racial and ethnic division, where minorities are mired in a poverty worse than slavery, and white people stand at the top of an unfairly stacked pyramid of privilege. Jason D. Hill corrects the narrative in this powerfully eloquent book. Dr. Hill came to America at the age of twenty from Jamaica and, rather than being faced with intractable racial bigotry, Hill found a land of bountiful opportunity.

When The Real Housewives of New York City hired its first black cast member after more than 13 years on the air, attorney, speaker, and journalist Eboni K. Williams knew that the public would consider her a diversity hire. But instead of accepting the label, Williams re-envisioned her role as a “Diversity Higher,” an opportunity to prove the significance of Black excellence in the workspace and in society at-large. In this book, she shares all the benefits and advantages that have helped her and many others historically reach great heights in their careers and beyond.

When the rallying cry “Black Lives Matter” was heard across the world in 2013, Andre Henry was one of the millions for whom the movement caused a political awakening and a rupture in some of his closest relationships with White people. As he began using his artistic gifts to share his experiences and perspective, Henry was aggrieved to discover that many White Americans - people he called friends and family - were more interested in debating whether racism existed or whether Henry was being polite enough in the way he used his voice.

Listen Through to the end. You will be glad you did!
I am so impressed by the book. A friend recommended it to me, so I gave it a shot. I admit, I skipped some of the timeline at the beginning a little bit, because I am not a big history buff. But then later in the book I realize how important it was and went back to listen. Wow. This book is beyond words. I love the music! I’ve never heard anything like it. I am going to purchase the print copy too, because I really want to sit down and read it through again. I feel like I need to digest it even more. There is just so much in it. I have a much better understanding of reparations, of the Bible, and so many other issues relevant to today. I highly recommend this book. If you’re like me and struggle with that history portion, skip it and come back to it later. But don’t put the book down… it’s an important read all the way through to the end. Very well done.

Educational/ inspirational
This is an amazing book, I am eager to keep reading. I have already increased my knowledge on the history of slavery even though I am only on chapter three. Im also inspired to be a better person ; for the mere fact that we are all humans. There is only one race ; The human race. So we need to stop all this nonsense of color origin sexual orientation. In my opinion this book brings new insight that I’ve only begun to discover. The only feedback I have is I’m not an Audible listener. I’m finding it very difficult to stay focused. First I prefer to have the book so that I can write notes and reference and highlight etc. second. This mans voice is so soothing. He brings me to a zen place and makes me want to take a nap. So kudos to you G. Your amazing 😉 also want to touch upon the music 🎶 played throughout the book. Beautiful beautiful music 🎶 ( now get me a paperback version please and thank you. ) 🌼🌼🌼🌸🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷

Incredible Information and Research
This information that is touched on by Rafa Selase is GROUND BREAKING. Having gone through our compromised, distorted schools of "EDUCATION". This information is OUTSIDE the MANIPULATIONS of SOCIETY. I don't consider myself a big reader. I chose to listen with the audio book version, which allowed me to sit back and just absorb. Selase did a GREAT JOB in his RESEARCH and CONVEYANCE of the INFORMATION. I was not only IMPRESSED with his thorough research, but ASTOUNDED with his findings. This book has a wealth of information, that is EMPOWERING to those of us today and INSPIRING for our kids of the future. I am going to purchase a hard copy to have and add to my books of history. I encourage all to get HARD COPIES of REAL INFORMATION. You never know what's going to happen with this digital age. I SALUTE Selase in his EFFORTS to EDUCATE and to bring CHANGE to our SOCIETY through his MUSIC and INFORMATION.
