    Malcolm & Good Intentions

    In this episode, we delve into the complex nature of racism and how it operates under the surface through condescension, bias, and power imbalances. We examine the importance of humility, empathy, and genuine understanding in addressing the root causes of injustice and overcoming the divisions that have plagued our society for far too long. Along the way, we draw on the wisdom of Jesus, the power of the Gospel to change, and the timeless principle of the Golden Rule, exploring how we can put these teachings into practice.

    Malcolm & Black Brotherhood

    In this final ep of season 2, Phil and Taelor discuss the Malcolm quote: "We Black men have a hard enough time in our own struggle for justice—and already have enough enemies as it is—to make a drastic mistake of attacking each other and adding more weight to an already unbearable load."

    Malcolm & Tokenism

    In this week’s episode of Make it Plain, Phillip Holmes and Taelor Gray explore the following Malcolm X quote: "Then in the second semester of the second grade, I was elected class president. It surprised me even more than other people. But I can see now why the class might have done it. My grades were among the highest in the school. I was unique in my class, like a pink poodle. And I was proud. I'm not going to say I wasn't. In fact, by then, I didn't really have much feeling about being a Negro. Because I was trying so hard, in every way I could, to be white. Which is why I am spending much of my life today telling the American black man that he's wasting his time straining to integrate. I know from personal experience. I tried hard enough.” Follow Phillip Holmes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhillipMichaelHolmes Twitter: https://twitter.com/phillipmholmes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phillipmholmes/ Follow Taelor Gray Twitter: https://twitter.com/taelor_gray Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taelor_gray/ Learn more about Make It Plain: https://makeitplain.co Join the Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/hometoroost Support this podcast at: https://makeitplain.co/support Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/make-it-plain/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
