Thoughts, observations, & theories
This is a blog for dissecting whiteness, breaking open the hidden and not so hidden generational traumas inflicted and received, taking a deeper dive into privilege, power and healing. We can’t heal what we cant see, what we can’t remember, what we are unwilling to admit… we must wake up from the united states of amnesia and remember, so we can change, so we can heal, so we can build relationships of trust and connection and mutual respect… so we can all be in our highest and best selves!!
If not healed, it burrows deep down inside of us where nobody can see it, where we (subconsciously) think we can keep it tamed.
Stories of the untold “white” lies that have been passed down through generations, stories of identity and the impacts of the myth of white supremacy to the white male soma and the wider collective consciousness.
What is white culture? What do white people value; what do they/we believe in? How do white people communicate, verbally and non-verbally?
Acknowledging privilege sucks. It just does. It doesn’t feel good and it brings up some deep questions about self-worth.
Last night, in Oakland, a white man stabbed two young Black girls, killing one of them (18 year old Nia Wilson) and putting her 19 year old sister into critical condition in the hospital.
Her instincts went straight to using the “authorities” to control the behavior of this 8 year old girl and her mom, in order to regain her sense of comfort.
