Confronting the Legacy of Racism: 9 Noelliste Confronting the Legacy of Racism: The Challenge to the Christian Faith Dieumeme E. Noelliste, editor "Like many, I have defined racism individualistically. This approach allowed me to assume that since I didn't have negative or prejudicial feelings toward African Americans and hadn't, therefore, intentionally sought to disadvantage them, I wasn't a racist. It also allowed me to remain ignorant of the history of racism in America and blind to its tenacious and pernicious presence in contemporary U.S. society. I can't think that way anymore. Coming face to face with my complicity in supporting a racialized society has turned me inside out. The realization that I have benefited from a social and economic system that has been built through a shameful history of racially driven segregation, oppression, and injustice, even though I may not have intentionally perpetrated such acts, has challenged my sense of identity, my narrative of personal accomplishment, and the shallowness of my faith." —Mark Young, from the Foreword Foreword by Mark Young Introduction by Dieumème E.
