This week’s lecture by Dr. Felder was very influential. He spoke mainly of freedom and justice. I liked that he was able to capture our attention without trying exceptionally hard to do so. His voice was very soothing yet empowering making it nearly impossible not to listen to what he had to say. He did a good job stating his opinions and not once did I forget how he felt about freedom and justice. He was also very passionate about his stance on freedom and justice and was not afraid to show that. Dr. Felder defined black Diaspora as the dispersal of people outside of the African Continent. He defined freedom as a person’s right to exercise choices. He also stated that freedom is solely a conditional state of being. According to Dr. Felder, “freedom has consequences.” He also said that Adam and Eve had choices and they chose the wrong one’s. Dr. Felder believes that the Bible, written by men, portrays women in a negative way. He believes that women are portrayed as lesser than equal. Jesus is the justice of God and if you want to be a practitioner of justice you must practice religion and God. He is a firm believer that we are not living in a free world although it is displayed that way. He says that if we were incarcerated her, how ironic is it that we’re called free. They made the choice to bring us here and therefore made our freedom. Therefore, we are not entirely free.
