AlbakiReads Editorial

Racism, faith, and a life in America

Drawing on the author’s own experience, the book considers racism across four stages of an African-descended man’s life in America: childhood, adulthood, career, and parenthood. These reflections frame racism as a recurring presence in the pursuit of the American dream and examine the pressure it can place on a person’s capacity for love. The author connects that struggle to Christian faith, invoking Leviticus 19:18 as a guide against revenge and resentment. The result is a personal account organized around the tension named in its title: the forces that cultivate hatred and the belief that people are called to love.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in personal accounts of racism across different stages of life in America.
  • Readers exploring the relationship between Christian faith, love, and responses to discrimination.
  • Readers seeking reflections on racism in family, career, and everyday experience.

Book overview

Exploring four Dimension of an African descent mans life in America. Im writing to inform you of one common theme: racism. It is a constant reminder in pursuit of the American dream. From every stage of his life, he will, at some point, experience some type of racismfrom childhood, adult life, career, and as a parent. I took an inventory of my life experience, and Im trying to make sense of it all. One conclusion I came to when going through some of these situations, I believe it was the devil trying to test me and turn me into a person that hates. But as we all know, God designed us to love. This is how I decided on the title for the book. If you are seeing things the same way all the time and with no hope for change, it can push you to hate things. But God says in Leviticus 19:18, Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
