Seen.
A division ensues causing one to put another in a place of lesser entitlement, and once the Reptillian (hind) brain is activated, the frontal lobes (altruistic center) is less in operation to perceive the actual truth, but operates in a reactive mode. Thus some of the behaviors witnessed with the friend.
The propaganda spread throughout Istory has continued to fuel the divisive, elitist, survival of the fittest, fear-based mentality. All of the other schisms around finding the judgment for the divisive behavior could fit any scenario (skin color, socioeconomic status, disability, difference of cultural values, religion, etc.)
It is how the particular brand of capitalism functions today.
Many amassed on the 'net in 1991 before www and we were all of the same mindset about revolutionary necessity. Nearly all of us were harassed in some way: followed, watched, etc. it was most uncomfortable.
Until we can find a way to reach a larger audience, stated today in a local rag that 1 in 3 are people of color in the US (Asian, Black or Hispanic), the dictatorship will prevail. This was the intent behind my earlier post about a wider forum. Making it attractive to mainstream to simplify down, get real and vibes life. The gist was just to start a larger segment of the population into a more conscious river vs. the rapids that are approaching.
On a personal note, I can empathize,
My only child is 11, (his father is Jamaican) I watched a hospital personnel nearly kill him in an ER room at 6 days of age through seemingly intentional neglect (dehydration), witnessed slurs made about his name (nontraditional) and had several other issues come up then moved to the midwest after CA my entire life (he was 6) pulled him from 2 schools that were majority 'white' after volunteering with the little time I had starting a business and trying to survive. I stood up to the principals in both schools, one tried to put him in a Title I classroom? After I had been told in CA he was highly gifted? I trusted my gut as I was alone and removed him after being told he could not and they would not remove him until the school year was out. I related that I politely challenged them,this was my blood. I went to the Superintendent and politely talked with him and moved him to the only other school where he was put in the gifted program, then was given 3 day lunch detentions for a slight misbehavior (another friend and he allegedly took a football from another student). I would walk into the school and stick my nose in and learn what was going on, they didn't like it much. I found that the teacher was asking my son to be the engine of the class? And, calling his work garbage! I was completely beside myself but then found that the principal also related the teachers words after telling me my son was one of the brightest Einstein type children he's seen in all his years at the school?
These types of events are really hurtful.
I pulled him out, drove him to a bigger city, but the crime was off the hook so here we are again homeschooling, not so bad but not ideal either.
It's always so nice to read from ya Empress. If you are aware of a great place to raise a child I'd love to hear.
Nuff respect
