Why Mindful of Race 101?
Racism remains one of the most rooted and painful impasses of our time. The scars and history of racism impacts all of us, without exception. It impacts our capacity to genuinely love, and it blinds us to our humanity.
Racism is fed through unawareness, oppressive systems, and the misuse of power. Deepening our understanding of how we have been conditioned to think and react is at the root of racial harm and racial healing. We each must ask ourselves:
Why are matters of race still matters of concern throughout the world?
And what does this have to do with me?
Racial Awareness Rubik: 6 Concepts, 3 Pairs:
The Rubik is a useful metaphor to illustrate and remember the Mindful of Race core concepts. The Rubik is a complex and dynamic puzzle that requires focused attention and wise effort. Once you understand the goal and intersecting concepts of the Rubik, you can interact with it more skillfully each time you engage. Likewise, the six concepts of Mindful of Race shows us the complexity and dynamics of our racial conditioning (aka colors) and its impact on collective well-being (Rubik cube as one system).
