Today's episode features Amer Zahr, a political activist, comedian, law professor and excellent human being. Every WAYS episode is unique for the commentary, stories of the featured guest and the growth of Osama and Mohammed alongside the progression of the podcast. Amer is a Palestinian-American, which should appear as a simple attachment to his family's background and roots born in America. Unfortunately, it is problematic, confusing, alarming, and a concept that has not sat well with prejudging individuals and racists against his people and culture. Today's episode attempts to dissect the problem amongst interrelations amongst Whites, Arabs & Blacks. Amer's life is more than by being a person who tells jokes for a living; it is more profound, as he offers wisdom to the dilemma Palestinians have been facing for decades. His political background started from when he was young, yet the awakening would soon transform him into a voice for the voiceless. His being a law professor does not dictate him as an authoritative figure; it only reiterates his focus on learning the history of his people in the academic field, to enlighten the minds of those who are familiar or utterly unaware of the history of Palestine. Amer is a human being, like everyone else; the one thing he does differently and exemplifies every day is the relentless pursuit for creating a change for the better through the lens of what is present to him at the moment. Amer's journey is something we should all recognize, acknowledge and become eventually, Amer; we are all following in your footsteps, keep travelling, we are all right behind you, as we should be.
