<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
Loophole in the Use of Language While Discussing Racism </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">by Kaolin</span></div>
<br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I was on social networking site
for a while a few weeks ago and I noticed the tone of discussions about
racism included lots of cursing. I curse but one of the tricky parts of cursing
while discussing racism is not a question of anger at all or even intolerance
but rage thru cursing because it turns people-off. The problem with cursing when
discussing racism is that there is an inference of disrespect which simply gets
confused in the process & ends up becoming more imp. than the discussion
about racism itself, which is sad and distracting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Discussions
about racism cannot afford distractions.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">No one needs
to apologize for anything but they do need to be crystal clear when in
opposition to one another. Racism was designed to fracture relationships which </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">makes our
job harder because our solidarity is rooted in our humanity, not the other way
around.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">White people
can be real good about 'hearing' the truth, the anger of POC about racism. They
[we] can be. But I have seen white's get very confused by frank input. It seems
to challenge some of them to the core. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But of course WOC have also been challenged to
the core for centuries with all kinds of hell breaking' lose in their families,
community, the country and the world.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Yet it is
interesting we cannot draw a comparison between us no matter how hard we may
try. It is more like we are teaching each other about the reality we live with
within our bodies, black and white.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I have
attended more local white meetings about racism and these past few years have
been an awakening to the violence in racism many have said they were unaware of
till now. Mostly due to the economy which has effected them, their families,
friends and work places .I am convinced that if there had not been a recession
that so deeply affected them, the insensitivity to racism may have remained as
it was in the '90's.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Generationally-speaking,
at least they are stepping up and out, however quietly with a great articles
from books that are relevant, news clipping, and links to programs, etc. It is
like they are coming alive with real authenticity that can make a
difference.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">One bone of
contention however that is universal so far, is being yelled at or cursed out.
It is not simply the expression of anger that gets white women, we are much
stronger than that and do know what rage is. We do. However lots of us come from
sexually and verbally abusive childhoods. We have spent our lives in recovery or
assist others in that process and will continue to. So discourse about racism is
especially imp. and being yelled at or cursed at about racism just doesn't work.
I noticed that everywhere I go. That kind of expression of anger shuts me down
and turns me off. And no I do not plan to get over it or beyond it because I
also need to pick and choose what I am willing to work on. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Anger can be
confusing. It represents so many challenges to white people & contradictions
to many POC as well. Anger displaces us as I believe it does everyone. It is
meant to confuse and hurt when directed against a peer or loved one and it does.
Clarity is better. It just keeps a flow going.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We cannot
intimidate each other in order to convince one another of anything. The
patriarchy does that all the time to women. We can't do that to one another.
Clarity and precision is better. When I start to be cursed at because of my
belief or understanding or even a misunderstanding of something ... I start to
lose respect or trust.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">White people
can and do recede into the background if they believe they are being abused. It
is not simply the effect of white privilege but a survival technique that helped
us when we were young or as older adults who have experienced domestic violence
and/or abuse. Or, we have been saturated with an awareness of it in other parts
of our lives. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Anyway, the
friction is teaching me something: White is white. Allies can empathize, relate,
care and be dedicated to racial equality in a myriad of ways, but we will not be
able to be of color or walk in anyone else's shoes but our own. And somehow or
other white people still have a great deal to figure out about themselves
regarding what to say and how to say it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We all
do.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(253, 253, 253); line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Just
thoughts...</span></div>

Soon I will be starting a dialogue on the latest with Desiree Jordan who runs an activist organization, titled UNITE WOMEN of NY. Desiree is a social worker and is also on the Woman of Color Board of the National Organization for Women.<br />
<br />
Desiree and I facilitated a workshop and we had the honor of Coline Jenkins moderate it in 2014 at the NOW Feminism: Strength in Diversity 2014 Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our work shop was titled: THE SPIRIT OF CHANGE: WORKING THE RACIAL EQUALITY MUSCLE.<br />
<br />
Much more to follow.<br />
<br />
Have great evening!<br />

Hi! <br />
<br />
It has been a while since I have added material to my blog site. As you can see, I am in the process and adding photos from the last few years since my book came out. I will keep adding more and hope you will enjoy them! I will also be writing essays knowing some of you will join in and express yourself regarding your own views about racism.<br />
<br />
I have also been writing several books on this subject and will keep you posted as to exactly what is going on with them.<br />
<br />
That is all for now. <br />
<br />

<br />
It was an honor to be Keynote Plenary Speaker on White Privilege.<br />
<br />
Along with Desiree Jordan, moderated by Coline Jenkins we ran a workshop.<br />
<br />
Here is a description of what our workshop entailed:<br />

<b>The Spirit of Change: Working the Racial Equality Muscle</b></div>
<div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 1em 0px;">
In
the spirit of change we want to discuss the resistance one has to
talking about race. We understand family-of-origin issues such as
incest, often interfere in the process of healing which can impact one’s
ability and willingness to remain mindful of white privilege. We will
address the effect this has on activism, policy and how one can
influence & accelerate change in these areas. We’ll discuss the
‘bystander syndrome’ & demonstrate how you might stand up and out
when confrontation is necessary to make your position on racial equality
clear in your circle. You will form a ‘solid identity’ that gives you
the knowledge & ability to transform the meaning of whiteness,
therefore becoming a game-changer where racism is concerned.</div>

My Writing Process Blog Tour ~ I was honored to be invited by Catherine McCall, international best-selling author of the memoir, “Never Tell,” to participate in the #mywritingprocess blog tour. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The following four questions have been asked of everyone who has and will participate in this community of writers.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1) <b>What am I working on?
I am working on a speech I will be giving as Keynote Plenary Speaker on WHITE PRIVILEGE and a workshop I am presenting with
Desiree Jordan titled, THE SPIRIT OF CHANGE: WORKING THE RACIAL EQUALITY MUSCLE at the 2014 (NOW) NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN CONFERENCE at the Hyatt Regency in Albuquerque, New Mexico June 27 -29 2014</b>.
In addition, my 2nd book co-authored by Mr. Henry White, producer and host of NCTV's Spotlighting Paradise, is titled: <i>Protocol:
Welcome to Paradise, Watch Your Step</i> will be launched in the fall 2014. It is about racism in Northampton, MA. and in small
towns across the country also known for their liberalism.<br />
<br />
2.) <b>How does my work differ from others of its genre?</b>
It clarifies the affect of systemic racism upon the individual, encouraging my readers to "transform the meaning of whiteness" by taking
action in their daily lives to foster racial equality. It also encourages individuals to get validation for their efforts.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Why do I write what I do?</b>
I write what I do because white privilege is a perversion of power for its own sake and I prefer to look at the possibilities
that do exist for us once we have begun to dissemble systemic racism, since racism permeates our existence no matter where we look,
where we live, whom we know or who we are. I am convinced that racism is our inheritance and it is one we can all do without!<br />
<br />
4) <b>How does my writing process work?</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Most often I visualize what I believe needs to be said. Then I start to jot down one liners about the subject. </li>
<li>Occasionally, I start writing right away and then return to it until it is a finished product. </li>
<li>Sometimes I do wait until I can see the piece in its entirety. </li>
<li>Writing is pleasurable and a necessary form of expression. </li>
<li>It is also work that requires your entire body. </li>
<li>I walk a great deal in between writing.</li>
<li> Shut the phone off as much as possible. </li>
<li>Give myself room to be inspired. </li>
<li>Create an aura of solitude and serenity when I write. </li>
<li>It is important to be confident of what I have to say and my right to say it. </li>
</ol>
When you write you are exercising a freedom that cannot be taken away from you.<br />
<br />
I recommend that many who are struggling to find their voice sit down and start writing!<br />
<br />
The week of June 23rd there will be a real treat for you. Three writer's will be joining the Blogging Tour. They have been associates of mine for years and are brilliant, benevolent and extremely busy humanitarians. I am honored to have met them and sustain such profoundly loving and respectful relationships to each one of them. Be sure to look at their blogs the week of June 23rd to find out more about their work and writing process!<br />
