I have to say this conversation triggered me because of the constant race descriptions. I can accept every thing she says as true and do understand from a blk carribean perspective. But the way she talks about 'whitenes' in a way that reinforces their supremacy and in the other opresses blk people. I dislike that. The convertsation would be just as useful without reinforcing these beliefs that really needs to go in order for us to ever become truely equal. We have learned white ways as descendant of slaves. We do need to connect with our deeper self to reconnect to our roots and who we really could be once the conditioning is challenged. The process is the same regardless of race or experience. We also need to accept that we will never be able to go back. We can integrate new learnings we feel called to but will never become our ancestors / African. Most Africans also looks down on us and we r still different or outcasts. My personal exp. So our job is to find the self we want to be and do that. Not try to learn the conditioning of another culture. Just my opinion. I'm happy with with who I've become and the conditioning I am releasing. I suppose that's why I'm triggered as I've also realeased a lot of blame on my journey.
