Remake of On Race Reflections by Kazembe https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l Feel free to share thoughts and critical takeaways from the session. en-us 2022-01-06 18:20:49 UTC 2022-01-07 18:58:19 UTC hello@padlet.com I'm fascinated about how in depth the structure and politicization of race and how far back it goes. So it's not just one aspect of society that must be addressed, but every aspect due to the dynamic nature of White supremacy. https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1979596956 2022-01-06 21:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1979596956 Significance of using the term interrupted and not destructed https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1979614943 2022-01-06 22:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1979614943 https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980920447 Eye opening that institutions that many of use think of accepting today (Christian churches-many sects) were rooted in such structural white supremacy.]]> 2022-01-07 17:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980920447 https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980926200 What role does white supremacy in Islam play today - did this occur historically?]]> 2022-01-07 17:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980926200 As i look at the faces of Jesus, and my christian upbringing, I think about the black gospel churches i have been to and the intense praise for Jesus, God, and their faith. I wonder what they see when they think of Jesus? Is it just objective that Jesus was born in Israel, and was likely fair skinned? is it our own miscues that lead to this image? i feel humbled as i hear about the mistreatment done in the name of religion. https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980927416 2022-01-07 17:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980927416 This historical context is incredibly powerful in helping me to understand the deep roots of white supremacy and how "white supremacy is pathological" in the U.S. https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980930133 2022-01-07 17:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980930133 what would 1/6/2021 have looked like if the insurrection was instigated by a non-white crowd? https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980930463 2022-01-07 17:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980930463 This is very interesting as I too wonder and I am puzzled by the education I have received from childhood on up! I never dreamed that white supremacy went back to the 1400s and the connection to the "church". https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980931138 2022-01-07 17:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980931138 https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1980933467 Just pondering the work done by disease to further white supremacy/white colonization.

Growing up in a different country I did not have all those insights and historical experiences. It gave me a different perspective and challenged my thinking.

Very excited to learn though. ]]> 2022-01-07 18:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lkazembe/6ockskkwecrtew0l/wish/1981041382
