⁣🎥 Who Destroyed Black Wall Street Part 11: Anthony Johnson & The Featuring 1 of the 7 Lenses of Racism

In this episode, Coach Adasa unpacks the story of Anthony Johnson, one of the first Africans in colonial Virginia to gain freedom and own land; a man whose life reveals the early contradictions of race, power, and property in America. His journey from indentured servitude to landowner, and the eventual seizure of his property by the colonial state, marks the beginning of a racial hierarchy that would echo through centuries, from the destruction of Black Wall Street to the modern psychological wounds of internalized racism.
Through the 7 Lenses of Racism Framework, Coach Adasa focuses on Internalized Racism, the subtle, inherited belief systems that cause individuals and communities to doubt their worth, conform to oppressive norms, or turn survival into self‑negation. This lens exposes how systemic oppression becomes psychological conditioning, shaping identity and behavior across generations. The discussion bridges historical insight with spiritual restoration, drawing from scripture to remind listeners of divine identity and renewal:

Hosea 3:6–7 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
Hosea 1:10 “In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living God.”
Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God…”
Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

These verses frame the healing process: reclaiming identity, restoring knowledge, and renewing the mind from centuries of distortion.
