Emily doesn't seem to understand how anger is created because of people like her. Emily is an Asian business owner in a black section of Houston that has been negatively impacted by policies enacted and implemented by whites that broke agreements made to black communities. She doesn't have to look outside of Houston for help but she wants this to resolved without confronting the source of the problem. You aren't going to cure lung cancer by ignoring the use of cigarettes nor are you going to solve the problem of freedmanstown by ignoring how policies made by whites created the issue. It's that simple. You talk about plantations and democrats, there is no liberal plantation but there damn sure is a conservative one. And in that conservative plantation, you cannot mention how race negatively impacts communities of color or how such a long period of implementing such policies have damaged communities of color badly. In the conservative plantation the slaves must bow to the claim of how inferior culture is the problem in the black community and if you don't massa gets to give you 40 lashes.
Maybe it's time you dropped your ignorance Emily.
About Anger
IM2
Yes I am constantly teaching and reminding others including my own bf and friends that genocide and raping people like property doesn't disappear overnight. The phobias and biases causing racial strife and disparity have a cause that must be cured before the injury and symptoms heal and go away!
The difference is I am teaching forgiveness as the key to corrections by healing so we can work together without negative burdens and clashes.
IM2 forgiveness is NOT ignoring denying or enabling wrongdoing to go unanswered. It's the opposite. It's allowing corrections by letting go of the toxic burdens caused by the wrongs.
You can't fix up a broken foundation on a house if you don't empty out all the garbage first that's stacked up blocking the floor and workers from getting in.
You don't deny or ignore the causes of why things got stacked up or why the foundation cracked or where, but you gotta remove blockages and open up the process to get it all fixed.
So that's what forgiveness does, to relieve the burden of anger and pain from Injustice and insult and injury so the medical team can clean out the wounds, reset the bones, and follow a process for the body to heal recover and work properly.
Where you and I disagree, I focus on forgiving the source of the anger fears and biases. And find this process to be equally challenging to each person and group whether white or black, individualistic or collective minded, liberal or Conservative, democrat republican Christian or Atheist etc.
Whatever biases we have, forgiveness presents these from escalating into worse conflicts of PROJECTION externally (which you focus on as white dominance by skewed application of Individualism to discriminate against other groups collectively) while Unforgiveness and Fear are the real causes and keys whether a white person abuses Individualism or a black person abuses collectivism.
The abusive projection of blame disparingly onto others is caused by not forgiving , and this isn't instantly cured but can take several stages or generations to fully heal and recover back to normal.
IM2 just because I forgive the abuses by both Black and White Democrats and Developers doesn't mean I ignore them but it's the opposite, I couldn't work with everyone to focus on corrections and solutions if I couldn't forgive all the abuses and conflicts in perception going on.
Forgiveness allows corrections. Of course you have to understand the Causes in order to bring about effective corrections. And that's why I ask you
IM2 as well as
Asclepias to join with Gladys House and other Black leaders who understand the Causes so you can lead corrections. All that's missing is more unity. The more we forgive our differences and conflicts the more you Gladys and others can unite and finally call for a reparations plan that will work and make sense so everyone can support it. Thank you for that and I look forward to seeing Justice come and everyone Free at last!
