Racism in the midst of a pandemic: How fear creates a mindset for racism to exist. ---Coronavirus has brought out the best in some… and the worst in others. More acts of racism have been exhibited in this time against Asian culture. From national leaders to individuals like you and me things like calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” and shaming cultural mannerisms have been on the rise.

This week, we are talking with Jordan and Camille, creators and hosts of the Youtube channel, Halidom. We originally scheduled this time to talk about racism towards the Muslim culture but we expanded our horizons mid-conversation to dig into racism as a whole, how to catch and break free for racist mindsets, and most importantly, how to understand eachother and extend grace when needed.

Due to us broadening our topic, this week will be talking more about general racism while our next episode with Jordan and Camille (part 2) will be diving into racism against specifically the Muslim culture.

This week we talked about: * Racism surrounding COVID-19* Artificial unity rallying around what we are against* The Attachment of “White” ideologies to the Christian faith* The dangers of not thinking for yourself* How scripture has been used to justify racism* Racism is a mentality you adapt but it is not who you are* Is Racism against white culture a thing?* White is its own culture* Getting stuck in a problem vs talking to find a solution---GUEST INFO:Jordan and Camille (Halidom)Hi! Welcome to Halidom. We’re a couple of recovering fundamentalists having spiritual conversations and producing videos on God and religion.⁣⁣Halidom is a place where we can speak and listen openly and honestly without judgment. The Bible is a weird and old book, but we’re all a bit weird too. Maybe we’ll be able to find hope and beauty while we work through what these ancient traditions mean today.
