Civil rights activist and author Bob Woodson argued that America's key crisis is not racial, but spiritual decay across its various demographic groups.
Civil rights activist and author Bob Woodson criticizes the idea of reparations on an episode of Dr. Phil.
"Blacks really benefited more the first 100 years after slavery than we have in the last 50 years," he said."I was born in 1937 during the Depression. Everyone in my small, low-income Black community, 98% of the households, had a man and a woman raising children. Elderly people could walk safely in that community without fear of being assaulted by their grandchildren. Never heard of gunfire during that time.
Woodson pivoted to suggest that the Black community needs to shift its mindset away from blaming White Americans for its problems. "If you’re talking about remedies, we’ve got to look beyond saying that every solution has to have a winner and a loser - that Blacks can only benefit if Whites lose. We have to be defined [as] more than just victims of oppression," he argued."When Whites were at their worst, Blacks were at their best. When we were denied access to hotels, we built our own."
"We have to communicate to our people the history of how they achieved in the face of oppression," Woodson added."But if we continue to sit back and say all of the challenges that we face in out-of-wedlock births, the violence, that somehow the control of that is in the hands of White America, and therefore, until White people change, there’s nothing that we can do – this sets up a terrible situation for this nation.
