Transcript of Are you plagued by Racism? Here's how to deal with it
CALLING ALL RACISTYou are so loved
and I love you so much
WALK WITH ME Even though you might hate me let’s
talk – our lives depend upon it.
PLEASE LET’S BE HONEST Bear with me and play along with me.
Remember what I said – I love you even though you may not love me and you love me too even though you may not realize it.
Ready, let’s play
WHO ARE YOU I’m not interested in Your name, profession, roles you play
e.g. Parent, husband, wife, etc. dig deeper – who are you? Are you there? Can you go deeper Who are you?
WHY ARE YOU HERE What is your purpose? This may need some time to think but
you do not have to answer right away but think about it a few days.
Keep asking the questions: what is my purpose? What is my purpose – then let it go and the answer will pop into your head or someone out of the blue will give you a hint. Trust. Moving on
WHAT ARE YOUR CORE BELIEFS? About Race About love About class About relationship About death Moving on
HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT THOSE BELIEFS? Did you born with these beliefs? Were you taught to believe in these
beliefs? Are these really what you came up with? Did you research or investigate to come
up with these beliefs
ARE THESE BELIEFS WORKING FOR YOU How so? How not so? Do these beliefs make you happier Do these beliefs make you feel
healthier?
WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST FEARS? About other races than your own About your own race?
WHAT IF YOU SWITCH FROM FEAR TO CURIOUSITY? Why people behave in certain ways? Is there any justification for their
behaviours
WHAT IF.. There was no country There was no race There was no sex What if we were like flowers in a
garden? What then
WHAT IF You had all the money in the world The world was a peaceful place Everyone got along with little
disagreements Everyone was treated as if they
mattered We respected everyone’s human rights The world was a good place to be in
HOW WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR TIME? How do you imagine you would feel
WHEN YOU HATE PEOPLE FOR NO VALID REASON How do you feel? Do you feel happy? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you see “the other” as human
beings – wanting the same things you want? Having the same feelings as you have
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE? Why?
What are you willing to give up
What’s it worth to you?
AFFIRMATION
Today I embrace loving myself fully because I know the more I love myself the more I will love others. The love in my heart, in my mind, in my body and in my soul is lifting me to higher ground of being. My heart sings with lightness. My feet are lighter and I am seeing the beauty of God’s creation everywhere with brand new eye. And so it is.
