- Racism is back at the forefront after the uprising of the #blacklivesmatter movement, following the horrific events in the US. Watch how racism weighs down on us as a society, through the stories of different people with lived experiences. Their stories are combined with the professional Vikram Kolmannskog (Psycho therapist, poet, and speaker) explaining the psychological impact. Hear the unique story of the former neo-nazi Arno sharing the fuel behind his hate, and how he turned his life around to become a spokesman for equality.
Learn how we as a society can impact the burdens of racism, and like THA founder Jimmy said, “Place racism in the history books where it belongs”. Especially now in the new wave of #blacklivesmatters, ensure this is not just another # without real change. The voices of this video share their insights and thoughts with you. Together we can lessen the burden of racism but also inspire actions that can end racism once and for all. Because all of us are part of society and can do something to help, even if it is 1 or 99 %.

I think a lot of racism develops out of fear. I think it might even be considered a phobia and an irrational fear. And rationally speaking it’s obvious that just because some people do something doesn’t mean they all do it, but irrationally speaking when your experiences dictate your ultimate perspective it can be easy to be consumed by the fear of that experience happening again and thus prejudice forms. I think the first line was spot on… “how can we talk about racism if we keep saying the only people who are racist are mean”… excluding the people who choose racism without any experiences attached to it, I think a lot of people who have developed deep seeded prejudice probably don’t want to feel that way but can’t ignore the fear enough to rationalize it. Fear is there to help us survive… and maybe a lot of people are just in survival mode. We have to understand each other and also find the real root of the problem.
This is beautiful! Moving and empowering, thank you so much!
If we as a nation, as a world focused on serving Jesus Christ, we would not have time to be talking about this subject matter. Everyone wants to live, act, dress, talk, express their own opinion, and the list goes on. We have a bible, which the Lord left us to follow and walk the narrow path.

As a white male i feel i am being seen as a racist and underserving of any merit for what i achieve every time the topic comes by or any time i am confronted by micro agressions, actually you can't call it micro agression when people say you are inheritenly racist and a bad person because you are born white, thats just agressíon an straight out racism. Ive suffered racism by whites blacks and arabs growing up in denmark as a white brazillian and i can garantee you that there was no one racism better than the other. Assuming that racism is a white disease and cannot have white victims is racist in itself.
You think that you are white?
