You guys, February is Black History Month, and we decided to honor it by having another incredible Black History Panel with Black voices of all different ages and backgrounds. If you enjoyed last year’s panel, you’ll love this deep dive into what it means to be Black in America right now, especially in light of everything that happened in 2020. We talked about entrepreneurship, struggles with injustice and racism, how to leave a legacy for future generations, and so much more.

Hey, fam! I’m Anthony. I’m fired up about meeting you where you are in a real, relevant, and relatable way. Here on this KZfaq channel, we’ll be having honest conversations about finding our authentic selves by living life based on spiritual, financial, and mental freedom. At the age of 19-homeless and deep in debt-I turned my life around by becoming debt-free, and I decided to spend the rest of my life helping people avoid the same money mistakes I made. Today, by the grace of God, that’s what I’m doing every day with AO Enterprise. You can rock with me on Instagram @AnthonyONeal or online at anthonyoneal.com.

What separates Weston from most of the panelist is that he looks at everything through a lens of the Bible. His faith in God is his anchor, it grounds him. This perspective is very refreshing because you see the freedom that he has because of it.

The thing is though, the audience especially Black people aren't all Christians so his message here essentially will fall on some deaf ears. I'm Christian myself but I do recognize that not everyone else is, I'm not sure this man sees that. Or he simply does not care to reach those people which in turn means he won't reach all Black people or people in general.

@jnorvil 3 жыл бұрын

@@greenfly0917 That's true; not all in the audience are Christians. However, I think he's using Biblical truths in his perspective because (1) as a pastor, he can't help but do so, and (2) being that he's on Anthony ONeal's show, it's likely that the majority of the viewers and listeners are Christians (or at least have a theistic background). Besides, even if there's much diversity among his audience, I believe he'll do well to speak from his heart using the Bible unreservedly. Many may see such boldness and wisdom on display and respect it, although they might disagree theologically.

The last time I checked, as Americans, _all_ of us have the right to express ourselves however we choose, *even in the public square,* so long as it's protected speech. More importantly, it is our God-given free moral agency that grants us the liberty to say what we believe is true and right. That includes even _you._ That said, you might want to reconsider that statement or at least give a good argument for it.

So good! I am Haitian and I was raised by Haitian parents, but yet I was asked by one of my customers years ago when I used to work at a retail pharmacy “Why do you talk white?”. Mind you, I have a bit of an accent lol. Interpretation: “why are you speaking proper English?”. I have never been asked that question by any other race. I was appalled! I agree with brother Weston, we have to work on ourselves first because we will have a better chance to help others.

EC Weston was just speaking so much truth!! I love how he mentioned that we should train our kids how to respect people. That’s how my parents raised me as well. They never said be sure to behave like this around white people or like this around the police. Never. Maybe because we’re African and we don’t ascribe to the victim and fear mentality perpetuated among black Americans. I just love the Bible- it’s really the only book that is relevant in every conversation and I just like how EC Weston utilizes his faith to bring a fresh perspective and some wisdom to the table.

Exactly but to be fair as a black American this culture of victim hood and fear mentality all started after integration. Pre integration the black American community had a lower rate of kids born out of wedlock, higher rate of marriage and more independent businesses that supported the community. And this happen at a time when racism was more blatant compared to today.

First off. This series is amazing! Here are my thoughts. I feel like as a community we are always in this tug of war with our thoughts on how we should move forward. One side wanting to free us from the burden and weight of the past and present transgressions in this country. One side taking on the full weight of these transgressions and making sure to keep everyone reminded of the past and aware of the present realities of the black community. It's usually clashing between one generation and another. The truth is that we need both sides but we have to work cohesively and respectfully as a community to do it. I'm 34 and my reaction to the history of the past and of these present years is more fresh than that of my parents who have seen all of these transgressions before. Information is so accessible nowadays that your heart and mind can be easily overwhelmed. They have taught me to not let the anger manifest into a weight that breaks my faith and keeps me from success and they would say that I have taught them to be more empathetic of the youth because in a way, the younger generation is fighting for progress just like my parents generation did in the 70's/80's and my grandparents did in the 50's/60's. Progress is the mission. Anyway. Longest youtube post from me ever lol. Love all of you . We are all made in God's image so we are all beautiful. Can't wait for the next episode!

You said something interesting my brother I am 22 years young and I am taking by this series being in the middle generation of the youth and elder it’s more of the division in ourselves.For instants my grandfather said this before he made transition that stayed with me through time ( anger minds understand chaos by adding to it rather than a peaceful mind that subtracted from it.) See it’s interesting we talk so much about what’s outside of us but what’s going on in home ?,what’s the dialogue, and how we are equipping our children because I’m a father of two as well,and I learned from our ancestors is to find a way to move amongst this topic of system. We endured this to embrace the fact that they are using the same tactics as they did before. It’s like telling my son’s hey do not get into that anthill because ants are going to crawl out and get you and they do it anyway and now every time they see an anthill they want to destroy it. Now you have ants suffering for the other ants actions. All I am saying is that yes we have and still are suppressed okay so what’s next and In terms of living a life worth more. I’ll end off like this I look at freedom like adults and peace as children the more freedom the adults have the more peaceful the children will be for years to come.

As I black South African, I see the race issue as more of a class issue, whereby the most dominant group gets to decided everything for everyone else. Therefore, it is not so much about caring what White people think but, more a case of understanding that if 8 out 10 times that you apply for a job, and the person who gets to decide whether you get the job is white, then you have no choice but to care. I therefore lean more to the idea of owning your own business and thus creating your own rules. On a spiritual level, however color does not exist. However, the bible does make it clear to stand up for those that are oppressed and hurting. It is not right to stick your head in the sand, when people are facing issues. In the book of Esther in the Bible we see a clear example of this when her uncle tells her. "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish.

How the girl in the bucket hat turned her head when the guy said "we have to stop complaining about the past"?

@jnorvil 3 жыл бұрын

_Anger_ and _fear_ - these two emotions can serve as strong motivators. How? What do they both have in common? *Pain.* I remember hearing a preacher who once said that pain is a teacher like no other. Therefore, it can be used as powerful motivation. In the case of Micha'el Davis (the young woman with the bucket hat), she confessed that her anger is one of the things that fuels her. To me, that sounds like an understatement. I'd say it's one of the _major_ things that fuels her. This seems evident in what you pointed out (i.e., the little microexpression, if you will, of turning the head) as well as Davis's disagreement with Mr. Weston's point about accepting the unfairness in life and moving on despite the fact. That may explain why she refuses to disregard or be "okay" with the discrimination that might occur between her and a white person. Her anger is probably vital to keeping her motivated, fueled; without it, she lacks that push for her mission. Now, to Davis's credit, there are benefits in expressing one's disapproval of racial prejudices. Certainly! However, the downside is when that motivating anger, if derived from frustration with racial inequalities, begins to normalize and create complexes within. This would indicate that a deeper problem needs addressing.

I think black people need to begin caring more about how we see each in a more positive light, as opposed to the majority of the time seeing each other in a negative light! I'm not going to say we are the only people who can see someone of our race, for the very first time and quickly look for something negative to say about that person, without even knowing the person from a can of paint! Black people are very judge mental of one another! And there seems to be a very pervasive attitude within the black community of having to out do one another, and part of this permeating mindset is a big reason, why practically every other existing ethnic group in America have their own, stores, banks and communities except black America! Black America tends to compete very hard against it's own self interest as opposed, to uniting and coming together to compete against the adversaries who seek daily to oppress and keep their feet on the necks of Black America!

I don't think the girl from the HBCU understood what the pastor was saying. She basically said the same thing that he said. The bottom line from what I understood that they both were trying to convey was to use what you have to sow fruit into the world and your community. The only difference I think the Pastor was saying was to do that without putting so much energy into getting Whites, the government, or whoever to see or care about our contributions. At the end of the day, if we're believers, our contributions are for Him and not for man so like the Pastor said why are we expecting Man/the world (unbelievers) to treat us equally and respect us. It won't happen on this side.

It’s so different the answer to these controversial questions are never black and white.

Racism isn’t just about the color of your skin. Some people dislike or disassociate with black people because of the stereotypes we portray. There are a large amount of black people who partake in bad culture. Our most popular genre of music glorifies selling drugs, killing, disrespecting our women. We are very violent to each other. So many black men are murdered a year. And that is glorified. Many of us don’t like to conform to normal civility. We choose poverty with so many single parent homes. We make up the largest percentage of the prison population. So when you take all of that into account and you are a non black person looking from the outside in you can’t help but look at this group of people as failures and self destructive. If you simplify all of that into “racism” you are ignoring a WHOLE lot of factors that lead to non black peoples perspective of us. We really are afraid of honest conversations.

@ederlinerosenberg6813 3 жыл бұрын

This!!! I think a lot of black people expect to be treated with respect just because they're human, and that's basic human decency, in an ideal world. But how I see it, the way a group of people are treated has a lot to do with their economic power/stand in the world. Let's take the asian race for example, not all of the asian countries are affluent or have economic power, just a few of them but I have noticed the rise in status it has given the whole asian race in society. Of course they still face racism individually but as a group their status has definitely risen.

Well, that’s basically racism: they are only connecting a race to only bad things. “Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Plus, racist people are always looking for reasons to support their beliefs; just how I’m always seeking for reasons to support my beliefs. It is something that will always exist. No matter how wealthy blacks get.
