Black or White, Now I Understand - Disk 1

The Work on Racism

Where does hate come from? What effect does it have on each of us? What will it take for it to end?

Meet Stearlene, an African-American woman who sits bravely before a predominantly white audience and states that she sees white people as the enemy. Using The Work's four questions and turnaround to explore the theme of racism, Stearlene meets her most frightening thoughts with understanding and discovers the truth behind the pain, a realization so rich that it explodes into love.

In a powerful follow-up piece, Daniel realizes that his story is Stearlene's in reverse; he is tired of the pain and separation caused by the concepts he has about black people. As he does The Work, Stearlene is there to receive it. Black on white or white on black, the story is the same: "Hate," Katie says, "is nothing more than pure innocence."

The Work of Byron Katie has helped millions of people across the world. It will turn your mind inside out and leave it in a state of dazzling clarity, where everything makes sense for the first time.
