Social Centric Racial Intersection Dialogue Prompt

Colonial thinking is inherently fragmented, violent, and environmentally suicidal.  Race or more specifically, "whiteness," was constructed as an idea to divide indentured servants, slaves, or peasants of old Europe from uniting with populations indigenous to the lands being invaded and the enslaved kidnapped from lands now called Africa.  Often when race "pops up," it is positioned as separate or even competing with other identity issues.  This is colonial fragmented thinking.  To elevate discourse and develop more effective action toward racial healing, Social Centric Institute offers a simple and profound prompt to "unpack" how race impacts everything all the time every time.  There is a spectrum of diverse identities with the human race that has been divided by the colonial creations of "whiteness, otherness, and blackness."  SCi offers you this simple and profound visual representation of the white-black binary construct, that weaponizes "lightness" and "darkness" to "color" the way we perceive anything.  Consider how everyday phrases in the sentence after this could impact subconscious senses of superiority or inferiority within a social order built on the framework this document displays.  Again, consider phrases such as "white blood cell, white lie, and white wedding" or "red scare, yellow belly, and brown noser" and finally "black magic, black mail, and that movie was black or dark."  Use this document to elevate your conversations and deepen your understanding of how race impacts and intersects with EVERYTHING all the time every time.  Conservative denial and liberal obliviousness impedes maturation of racial discourse.  This tool can help in the evolution of understanding around racial intersections.  Varying approaches are needed in a social order where the oppressed are most effected and the privileged are the most afflicted.
