Super interesting conundrum. I’ll continue to “put out there” the hope and intention that humanity’s consciousness expand quickly, with as few switchbacks as possible. It is frustrating to bear witness to both the response of corporate America and to the knee jerk (totally understandable) anger and disappointment directed at white people demonstrated in Michael Harriot’s article. Alas, reality will continue to unfold as it will.
I married into this melee - African/Anglo - delivered a child. I married again into this melee - Asian/Anglo - delivered a second child.
To say I’ve been an avid observer, keenly aware of global racism - subterranean corporate and religious systemic abuse of minorities, pervasive stereotyping, dimensions of micro aggression, centuries perhaps eons of the disempowerment of minorities on this gorgeous planet - would be a vast understatement.
Yes, it’s personal - but I’m white. I fly into and around everything and anything I want, anywhere, anytime I want. But my children, not so much. They have both suffered. Discrimination in all forms needs to end.
My position re: equanimity in a maladjusted world using superfluous color/class/or culture to maintain dominance - is unequivocal.
To reject consensus thinking we must collectively equate to a humanist narrative.
It’s not a war.
To describe persons by a color spectrum when we are all various shades of tan is patently retarded.
How can you go to war with a developmentally disabled dominant class. How to re-educate the fundamentally disturbed individual, self righteous and polarized by fear - is a tough one...let’s be real.
The current “wheel of power/privilege” is wanting. Wreaking of lies...wants a redesign.
It’s a polarizing era. The truth, is abundantly self-evident...it’s preposterous to argue. Yet, idiots are the biggest noisemakers.
We need a new narrative. A new teachable proof - just as we are humanity is solvent, right where we are, all, each and every individual. Evolving. Collectively evolving.
Solution: everywhere possible expand consciousness, model humanist awareness, openly, actively stand for truth.
There's so much here and it's all so good and thank you SO much and, honestly, from where I sit, nothing beats "To describe persons by a color spectrum when we are all various shades of tan is patently retarded." But that's just me. :) I continue to believe we're getting there, that the polarization is part of the process, and that everyone here is doing as you say in one way or another -- evolving, individually AND collectively.

Just knowing there's someone out there thinking the way you're thinking helps everything.
