" I don’t think much real spiritual development is possible for us until we look into the way white supremacy distorts our personalities and our morality."
In the actual confrontation of the way in which white supremacy distorts our personalities and our morality are we not actively engaging in our spiritual development. I would go as far as saying this is an effort to invoke karmic change, no? Karma, being another concept which originated not with the caucasian but elsewhere, is still beneficial when the principle is put into action.
As I asked before (in a slightly different way) has there never come a time when things that you were doing, which drew upon inspirations from a distant culture, were no longer a reflection of you trying to embody the other culture, but something quite different?
The Greeks and Romans went far in their emulation of Kemetic culture, but they weren't doing it because it was cool, no? They were doing it because they saw that their spirituality hinged on it. I'm not saying this to justify the rape of another culture, but rather to reflect on the notion that the caucasian isn't spiritually benign. It is within all humans' nature to think and act upon their own spirituality, whether or not they reject it and fall off is an individual choice no?
Thanks for taking the time...
