Grounding ourselves in the Source that connects us all together is an important prerequisite for healing that which keeps us separate; the power dynamics of supremacy.<\/p>\n The primary thing that supremacist attitudes of racism and sexism have in common that is not shared with other \u201cisms” is that\u00a0 assumptions of inferiority affect virtually all aspects of life and are immutable. White, male, supremacy allows automatic negative assessment of mental, physical, psychological, emotional, cultural, artistic, moral, and ethical capacity, whether through overt, covert, subliminal or just subtle messages entrenched since childhood. <\/span><\/p>\n Women and people of color are not only considered inferior in the above categories but made invisible if their actions contradict this basic fundamental bedrock principle. Obviously BIPOC women are doubly impacted especially as white women have colluded with their oppression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The learning and work for racial and social justice that developed the material for these websites started in the late 1980s with a focus on violence against women. After creating the Clothesline Project in 1990 to bear witness to this violence, a close friendship developed between the Clothesline Project’s creator and the Wampanoag linguist (Jessie Little Doe).<\/p>\n Little Doe spoke about how the concept of all types of violence against women and girls (rape, domestic violence, incest, etc.), including that perpetrated by strangers, was so foreign to indigenous women that there wasn\u2019t even a word in their language for any of that behavior. So, the logical question was, given their recent ancestral memory of the world we are visioning, why weren\u2019t they and other women of color in feminist leadership? Why were they so infrequent in feminist circles? The obvious reason was racism, both systemically and that which is embedded in white women, even liberal white women.<\/p>\n This led to over 4 decades of extensive educational efforts. It is vitally important to understand that the root of all justice work, whether for climate, for women, for LGBTQ+, or for BIPOC people of all genders and or working class, all stems from a particular way of thinking. This is a mindset of perpetrating or protecting white supremacy and privilege, often also linked with male, straight or ultra-rich classifications. The 40 years it has taken to gather and understand these issues shared on these sites is only a small step in a much longer journey, but it is a beginning.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”30px” disabled_on=”off|on|on” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” header_text_color=”#55853e” header_2_font=”Abril Fatface||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#613b18″ header_2_font_size=”45px” header_4_font=”|700||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”#845800″ header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font_size=”19px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Healing Reflections shares essays, poems, and messages with the intention to help repair the world.
