Racism: Ignore it or Deny its existence?

Marta Fernandez · Friday, September 5th 2008 at 6:05PM · 120 views
This is not a long treatise on this pivotal, agitative subject. I am going to quote one of my mentors and a truly phenomenal woman: Jewell Jackson McCabe:


~~~~~~~You factor in racism as a reality and you keep moving~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as quoted by: Brian Lanker in "I Dream A World."

I love this (keep moving) but this can be easier said than done.

with just enough grace for the step I'm on.

We have already had to keep moving..we have no choice..unless we work to have barriers removed the roadblocks will keep popping up and distracting us from the goal at hand..denied college admission ?keep moving..denied housing? keep moving..denied the job that you were qualifiled for? keep moving..I think Jewell meant keep moving and searching for the next opportunity..ask you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened..she is saying no matter how many times..and isn't that so true? you have to keep moving..it's actually our history and the history of anyone who wants something bad enough that they keep on trying..like a man who took the Bar entrance exam 20 times in 20 years!! wow! He finally made it..he kept moving.I think that is what she meant Jen..
