#WisdomWednesday
I knew she would end up here. I've said it many times—too many of us (black or other races) are doing things just to be accepted by other races. We need to stop being fake. Be who you are, love others genuinely, and set boundaries with those who don’t show love or respect in return. So many people are out here trying to prove… what? And to whom? All these “first Black/white/Asian this, first Black/ white/ Asian that ”narratives—sometimes it just feels like noise.
Live in a way that honours creation the way God does—seeing everyone and everything with equal worth. Walk your path, appreciate others, and stop trying to dominate, steal, or impose. We can coexist, even if we live differently. Respect matters.You do not need to understand a culture to appreciate it or respect it's people.
This is why I stay at peace, even in the face of racism. Because I don’t know what experience shaped that person's view of Black people. Maybe someone hurt them, or maybe they were simply misinformed. So I show grace. I let them meet me, so maybe I can replace that false narrative with truth.
But let me be honest: I’m Black, and I wouldn’t hire some Black people—not because of their race, but because of their mindset. Some are stuck in a slave mentality, lacking both professionalism and compassion. Some behave like the whole world owes them something. As if God is stupid for creating other races.
We talk about racism, but do we care for one another? Some of us are too quick to run to other races, looking for validation, instead of addressing the deeper issues within ourselves. I’ve never had problems with other races. My biggest heartbreak has come from my own. And watching someone, who is a product of migration, speak against migration—it's painful.
This is how slavery began—some of us sold our own. Let’s be real: the UK relies on migration. The NHS, education, and transport—all powered by immigrants. We are all connected to migration, whether from Poland, Germany, Africa, or elsewhere. So, instead of pushing people out, let’s focus on better integration. Cultural boundaries help people find belonging while respecting the land they’ve joined. We came to a country that already had its way of life—let's understand it before we try to change it.
I’ve said it before: the UK has been good to me. It opened doors, showed me God’s love in ways I couldn’t imagine back in the DRC.
Yes, history holds pain. Colonisation, exploitation—it all happened. But I can't change the past. I can choose to make the present more bearable for everyone I meet.
Many older white people, if given the chance, would do things differently towards blackpeople. Some are trying to make peace with the past by learning our culture, showing up in our spaces. That’s something.
But what about us? When will we, as Black people, make peace with our past?
Remember: no one is born into a perfect world. We all inherit problems. Some die trying to solve them. The cycle continues.
So I ask—
Who is going to change this Earth?
