31. Race, Narratives, and Pushing Through the Discomfort-- Hadeel (Part 2)

Listen Later

Hadeel is back with Scott to discuss race and the narratives we live with without even knowing it. Her faith in the Christian God pushes her to engage in the hard conversations and confront the biases she might have. She also calls out the Christian Church to acknowledge its past and be a part of the process of racial reconciliation. 

Topics Discussed:

  • "Professional hair" and how it has racial undertones
  • Preferences in attraction and when is it ok.
  • Stereotypes in advertisement. And the narratives we have about other races.
  • Zwarte Pete in Dutch society. Pilgrims and Native Americans in American society. What is innocent and what is condoning in the traditions we do with our kids.
  • How we to take care of old wounds. And we need to realize how we have benefitted from the actions of the past. 
  • Respecting the full color palate of God's Kingdom and valuing the worth of each individual.
  • Hearing out other perspectives while avoiding tokenization. 

    • Questions for the Community:

    • How do we acknowledge the wrongs of the past without levying a too heavy burden on those who benefit from the past but did not create it?
    • How will we know if progress is being made toward racial reconciliation?
    • Do you have an implicit racial bias in who you listen to or surround yourself with?
