Divide, Conquer, Profit: How White Power Weaponized Asian Success Against Black Progress (And Vice Versa) & What The Black & Asian Church Must Do About It.

In this weekly wrap-up, Darren Greenfield examines the complex relationship between Black and Asian American communities, focusing on how historical tensions and contemporary issues like educational policy battles and urban development conflicts have often been influenced by external forces. Through analysis of recent events, including the Thomas Jefferson High School, Boston Magnet High Schools admissions controversy, and the proposed 76ers arena in Philadelphia's Chinatown, Greenfield demonstrates how these communities have sometimes been positioned against each other.

Drawing from biblical scripture and contemporary examples, Greenfield builds toward a solution-focused message of reconciliation, emphasizing how Black and Asian churches can work together to overcome historical divisions. He challenges both communities to move beyond competition and scarcity mindsets. He offers practical recommendations for collaboration through shared worship experiences and community partnerships while acknowledging their shared histories of oppression in America.
