Privileged Whiteness versus Interculturalism

My friiend posted an article about the Stanford professor who was savagely attacked in the media because she dared suggest the American Conscious movement reeked of Privilrgrd Whiteness quoting as an example Burning Man Festival. This thought stuck in my mine when I attended two events over the weekend. The first one was a dance of about 150 people: n1 Mexican, 1 Asian, ! IndiN, The rest came from the background of privileged whiteness. The second event was a kirtan practice, a bit better, 3 Islander women and two Asian women out of a crowd of eighty singing ancient Indian chants, go figure.

Now over to the world of Interculturalism where I hang out half the time. I was at a Yarning circle of 60 people. I was the only descendant of earl Victorian sellers who had taken part in the Frontier Wars, not on the good side. I often attend events where I am the token white guy. They appreciate me coming because it is not often White Australian attend their events even through they invite all cultures.

How do you think that two such diverse cultures came to be and how could we get them to co-mingle so that there is an exchange of cultures so that both grow?.

Lets look if Marc and Angel Chernoff have a list that may cover the issue:

1.Appreciate the great people and things in your life.

2. Ignore other people’s negativity.

3.Forgive those who have hurt you.

4.Be who you really are.5.

5. Choose to listen to your inne view.

6.Embrace change and enjoy your life as it unfolds.

7. Choose your relationships wisely.

8. Recognise those who love you.

9. Love yourself too.

10. Do things your future self will thank you for.

12. Leave enough time for fun.

13. Enjoy the little things in life.

14. Accept the fact the past is not today.

15. Let go when you must.

Here are thw quotes and music:

You are not pulled up by the police every time you walk down the street.

If you are willing to seek them out.

Does slavery still exist in America under another name.

Black and Asiian lifes matter too.

Love is always the answer – Ragnar.

Because being black is cool, white men can’t dance.

Interculturalism offers that exact thing.

The KKK are a prime example of this.

We need more people to say this around the world and take on Interculturalism.

What do you mean I am privileged, I have worked hard.

So I have taken on melding these two areas of my life, I have no idea how. But I believe my personal koan; Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: nWhy; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time woll make the difference in it happening.
