Black ... Muslim ... American

Former CAIR board member on race in faith.

I speak with Carl Jack, a former CAIR board member and a Black American convert to Islam. We cover his journey to Islam, the myth vs the reality, how we was treated by the Muslim community. Carl discusses his frustration with CAIR and their disregard for the legacy of African American civil rights, and at large their own racism toward Black Muslim issues. And finally, we delve into the frustration of older generations of Black Americans and what is triggering the underlying racism in our country.
