Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation
Rev. Angel Williams
Speaking on her new book, ‘Radical Dharma’
“It has finally really gotten through to me how dangerous it is to be black in America, especially for black men…
In the US, racial injustice has been going on since the days of slavery. But what is different now, is that the videos of the murders are there for all to see, and white people can no longer ignore what is going on. I am one of them. I don’t know what the solutions are. In fact, anything I would come up with I am already hearing from Black Lives Matter, Dallas Police Chief David Brown, and others, but there has got to be a way for us to move toward justice for all these victims of endemic racism. The root problem is fear and hatred and how this escalates, which is where my kind of teachings could be useful. I am committed to continue to help where I can.”
