Racism Resurgence

This spirit was reminded how close the brink of de-evolution really is…and the impending transition that looms. Like a barbs in “soul” and heart, the verbal violence that spews forth each day where this spirit currently chooses to experience employment is soul sickening.
We are told that in this country, Racism is dead, or nearly so, yet on the...(more)

What about Condoleeza Rice?

In the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of The Utne Reader I came across a letter to Condoleeza Rice from Kenyon Farrow - and then checked him out further; author, activist, lecturer.  He's blogging and calls his blog “Every Shut Eye Ain't Sleep” which I liked.  Presumably this letter is from the book listed on his website - Letters from Young Activists.


Anyway I liked what he had to say.  Gave me some new viewpoints and insights.  I wonder how she would respond.


I blogged the letter here and wonder what you folks think about what Kenyon had to say.

hmmm….not sure how she would respond, but his spirit would thank him for being open, honest, human, and very spiritual.

Isn't this akin to a tale out of a religious manual brought up to modern times? How many times must the play be recast before “we” accept and transmute to the next level?

We face the same issue here in Switzerland with women: can you be a women and disagree with a recently elected women, knowing that's it 's an important step to be from a minority group and to be accepted in a men's group!

The gender or race group enters in conflict with the consciousness level group (Or Meme).

Condi cumulates beeing a women (no president have been a women yet) and beeing black!

People have to fight withint hemselves: “do I support the ideas or the colour?”

If you support the colour…you loose the voices of most of the dominant group

If you support the ideas…you loose the voices of most of the submitted (colour) group.

Whatever you chooses you loose… And this texts just shows the ambivalence of the author.

Honoring and standing up for the highest good regardless of creedo, color, gender, or philosophy is the path this spirit strives to keep on, for to do otherwise only results in the perpetuation of falsehood and all the attendant issues. When one compromises to support an ideal built on or supported by falsehoods, regardless of how desirable and pure the ideal is, it will crumble, because the foundation is rotten from the get go. Many long standing institutions and belief structures are collapsing for this very reason now. Do we try to build on sand and compromised values again, or have we learnt from our past any thing…
