An African American Perspective
Manage episode 353391830 series 2815874
In this episode, Oyani and Shannon discuss their experiences as black men in America. Oyani gives his perspective as a young man who grew up in Nigeria and moved to the U.S. later in life, and Shannon gives his perspective growing up in Kansas. Given their unique experiences, they discuss the importance of perspective when critiquing one’s country as well as appreciating the opportunities afforded to them. They discuss their experiences with racism, what they love about America, and give their critique on black victimhood culture.
All of this is discussed with an overarching theme of perspective and how to create it to appreciate what one has. They argue that any system that is sufficiently complicated will produce both good and bad fruits. Because of this, it is incumbent on those in relationship with a system to sample both good and bad data. If one only samples bad data, and as a result claims that the spirit of the system as a whole is bad, then that might be more a reflection of their own spirit instead of the system they seek to critique. This is true for any spirit one may be in a relationship with whether that be one’s country, family, friends, self etc. So join us as we discuss our experiences as black Americans through the Bottom Turtle Podcast language.
