Last friday was about Kunta Kinte who was a slave from my country of origin. And this friday we'll talk about Madame C.J Walker. I feel it's important to know and appreciate the rich black history, because their school does not celebrate or focus on other black historical figures other than MLK. I read your post and i can definitely identify with most of your experiences. I appreciate the hope you have for my continent(Africa). God bless you!Riema's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839865390821128952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14664929.post-25895878529103222272011-02-23T11:53:14.819-06:002011-02-23T11:53:14.819-06:00Hey girl, thanks for reading!

I am asking God to change my heart. I know not all people discriminate." One bad experience messed up my perception of some light-skinned Brazilian people but things are much better now. The sad thing is that these are not all the bad experiences I went through. There are more recent one. God's helping me and this is how I deal with it: I search scripture and I educate those who are open to know that there is still racism out there and it needs to end. Just to give you an idea of what Blacks deal with, the KKK is still alive and well in my county for example and many members go to church too - I've talked to a leader a few years ago. The fact is, God's principles are eternal and true and the only place they will reign and rule is in heaven. While I'm on earth, I am responsible for keeping a pure heart. the more racism I experience, it becomes easier cause you develop a tougher skin to it. Hope this answers your question ;) Love you.Cintia Listenbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027066128840707813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14664929.post-69231571410514348322011-02-23T10:38:30.240-06:002011-02-23T10:38:30.240-06:00Another very interesting and great blog.

I can't believe some of the comments you have gotten over the years from Brazilians - shocking to say the least for me. I know your take with over coming evil with good - But I still have one question. I know you mentioned being bitter on a previous blog and speak about prejudice on first hand. <br /><br />All this leads to me ask one question: How is God helping you get past your bitterness? Hos is God helping you not to become prejudice against those that have persecuted you? Because it seems like from your thoughts your bitterness is heavy and it leads you to be prejudice to those who've done you wrong in the past. I'd love to read a blog about hwo God is working in you!<br />-=) JanaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631987798342248267noreply@blogger.com
