The new one-woman play ‘The Road to Damascus’ reinterprets the biblical story of Saul and the tale of Little Red Riding Hood as an allegory for white complicity in the US prison system and the possibility of redemption through anti-racism. Creator and performer Kathy Randels joins ‘Rattling the Bars’ to discuss her new work.
Studio/Post-Production: Cameron Granadino

Kathy needs to learn history. She might be surprised at what she learns about her misguided notions.
Why does there seem to be an abundance of upper-class academic White women writing about "white supremacy"? If anyone has benefitted from white supremacy, it is the white female. Can minorities not spawn such authors, or can minority authors not get published as easily as white females?
Whites built the wonderful theatres. And white society gives people the time and means to be actors, instead of walking 14 miles a day to fetch water.
Please change that ANNOYING music
Christianity is NOT a "persuasion"… and "white supremacy" is invented by little-hat-wearing anti goyim people to divide us even more. I will never support people that push these terms.
Beautiful soul
Thank you so much, Mansa, and Kathy for your heart, your love, your truth.
I like those lyrics

Now, we also have this incredible opportunity to hear from Kathy Randels' experience of abused women, prisons.
Congratulations, Ms. Randels.
Another blessing.
With the deepest appreciation and respect for all of your dedication for social reform.
I grew up poor ,I'm White my sister is black,we didn't have time to have opinions on Idéologies that were made by university trained intelectuals !
GOD made us in his image Black and White !
supremacy is a tool made by people who want to divide , because they want to deceive !
Racism is something I don't understand because GOD only created the Human race .
We only know of the human race .
Now prejudice ,that something else because you have to indoctrinate
people into it !
and there's so many prejudices that it's a global word for manipulation and it's still working today !
Nothing Holy about the Holy Land these days.
America, or some forgotten parts of it, is still so … 18th century it's not even a joke.
how many times we must applause the people who love to invent fake enemies to be able to profit on the war against them ?
It was Prison, It's not suppose to be a Garden! I heard you say(the Christian Persuasion), Why Not Use the Term?(the Christian Faith)? Cuz Jesus Christ is my Faith, & Salvation, not a "Persuasion"!
Is "White Supremacy" something that actually exists?
… Or is it just a convoluted mean spirted progressive ideological accusatory conclusion meant to give a free ticket to those who would not be "white supremist" or who consider themselves not to be, so as to belong to a morally superior category of people?
Because for the idea of "white supremacists" to exist, there necessarily would have to be people who consider themselves superior because they are "white", which in any case is a pretty nonspecific relative almost abstract term. The fact is that a social group of people backed by whatever voice or proliferating agent sustaining the notion of "a superior race of people" has not been part of our world since the end of WW2. Indeed, this theory once proposed by a handful of eccentric scientists which never really got anywhere except into the imagination of some in the Third Reich and some other NAZI fashioned social-political groups, since then has been unequivocally repudiated and rejected, outright quashed and agreed to be so, pretty much universally. So; let's go back and recall the exact time in which this new populist neo leftist or progressive ideology condemning a supposed "white supremacy" reality appeared and became popularized. Was it not fairly recently?? So what then if not based on registered facts was it actually based on, other than theoretical unfair blameful conjecture, that presumes entering the minds of vast swaths of people to profess what they are actually secretly thinking merely based on their skin or facial appearance, or their colloquial language use, so often times superficially reactionary and not really defining of a person's greater caracter? Seems to be the exact same thing they are judging others for. And; is it not just an attempt to procure a form of power over others and therefrom form a political grouping of people?
Critical Race Theory horseshit.

You don't mean "white," you mean Jewish. Jewish supremacy. Let us take how the two "white" groups treated indiginous peoples……… The Jews murdered every last soul on Hispanola, the Catholics helped and treated with respect the aborigonal australians.
