What shade of Race Are we - Part II

How do you see?
Race is of a toxic mindset.  It deceptively allowed Europeans a way to divide indivisible features of peoples because of an oligarchical or aristocratic desire to be less similar, more superior.  The European divider then manifested their competitive advantage.  Race is really a competitive deception.  Highlighting the falseness of an idea that an organism can be inferior.  What a sad perception, more of a reflection of a dualistic and toxic spirit's inflexion on other living beings.  We are asked to see it as a food chain, where it is more like a food system, possibly more like who feeds who versus who kills who.

A spirit cultivating a mindset that cannot value harmony, symbiosis, and quantum entanglement in favor being seen as "better", can't be the accepted mindset.  Spiritually, there is too much judgment in the idea "better".  I like to think of this need to have higher status as a defense mechanism, a form of fear.  To say I am better than something else is highlighting my limited perspective on how the "we" is the superior to the "me".  The competitive advantage in biology, adopted by psychology, and now running rampant in business and technology, has encroached on our opportunity for soul-cial democracy.

Money is a motivating antagonist for division, creating reactive mindsets and continuing a Race paced competitive mentality.  The competition seems to be a race for a finish-line that does not exist.  An expression of wealth that seems to grow infinitely.  It seems like the competition is a way for some to ignore how fragile life is.  It seems like the competition is to have a life's meaning that is pleasureful and sorrow-less.  Our first world human culture has graduated from discovering what is necessary to survive, to how can life be easier.  For many it also morphed into a necessity for discovering how a person can stand out.  The competitive, dualistic, Race based, and insatiable mindset has favored a disguised cooperating mindset, with a corporate one.

We have reached a new form of competitive advantage.  An Anglo-American disadvantage, less about race and more about profits. The privileged class in America is now having to deal with the marginalization of the Anglo-American.  This non race based marginalization may have always existed, but today it is becoming more difficult to believe the Anglo-American is superior, by default.  Now the Anglo-American no longer has an ideology to lean on.  No other people to dogmatically feel  superior to.

This seems to be causing the Anglo-American to grow bitter towards the supports put in place to limit the barriers to opportunity for discriminated peoples.  The marginalized Anglo-American wants to blame this intervention in the form of civil rights for their new found shrinking advantage.  It seems more accurate to look at the oligarchy, follow the money, and be curious of its economic strategies.  Some of us refuse to investigate the underlying reasons for marginalization.  It is sad that some Anglo-Americans wish to re-disable the discriminated as a way to address their shrinking advantage.

I want these marginalized Anglo-Americans to confront the greedy policies of their representatives and business leaders.  Hold them responsible for making room in learning institutions and be creative with vocations so that there are no shrinking advantaged communities.  There seems to be a lack of consideration for the historic effort put into protecting minorities over the past century.  It gets irritating when marginalized Anglo-American communities find themselves being abandoned by shrinking economies and corporate betrayal, then look to destroy these civil protections, especially of discriminated minorities, as a solution to their woes.  It is a reminder of how their loyalty is exploited by profiteers.  How do you see?

Immigrating Without Borders

      I immigrated from Albuquerque’s city life to a quieter Santa Fe.  Santa Fe is 50 some odd miles north of Albuquerque along the Camino ...
