The first thing to do is find out about me. But that's offensive to someone who has experienced something that's different from what I'm saying.
Ever thought about how self-respect can shape your views on race? This episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast brings you an enlightening conversation between Dr. Daniel Amen, Tana Amen, and Miles McPherson, a former NFL player turned pastor. The trio dives into the intriguing idea that putting yourself first can actually help prevent racist thinking.
McPherson, who leads The Rock Church in San Diego, shares his unique perspective on how honesty about our own biases and actions is crucial for fostering a racially integrated society. He argues that many people claim not to see color but then contradict themselves in subtle ways, like trying to get a tan to look better. This lack of honesty, he says, is a significant barrier to true understanding and unity.
The episode touches on various themes such as the brain's response to racism, the importance of self-reflection, and how breaking societal divides starts with individual actions. McPherson also discusses his book, which delves deeper into these issues, offering practical advice on how to foster racial unity and embrace our differences. Whether you're interested in personal growth or societal change, this episode provides valuable insights into how honoring yourself can lead to a more inclusive world.
