Today I am talking with my sister about racism. This is a pre-recorded podcast recorded before George Floyd's Murder.
We touch on the basics of racism and all that it entails. I will continue to speak on this issue, but this would be an introduction to healing racism. It is not the responsibility of Melanted beings to do the inner work for Caucasians, however, in this podcast want ask white people to question their own privilege. The inner work of healing the roots of racism which is separation can not be bypassed. We address the concept of 'race', Intersectionality, Structured Racism, History, racist indoctrination in the schooling system, Covert Racism, and overall how white supremacy is affecting our lives every single day.
We also address the racism within both sides of our family by caucasian family members.
Addressing racism is not about blame but about encouraging people to look within at their own beliefs and to take accountability for how white supremacy is showing up in their own lives. Heal yourself and you'll heal the world.
