Racist Systems

Systemic racism is a social/cultural pattern of racial prejudice originating within individuals and their anecdotal experiences and lack of multiculturally enriching discernment Shedding light, and shredding dark, power analysis, political and economic, on patterns of white privileged events unveils systemic patterns of win/lose empowered privilege and disempowering lose/lose prejudices, race and male and heterosexual privileged AnthroSupreme unredeeming lack of communication events. Take, for example, a power analysis of John 3:16: For God so loved the world [Earth and EarthCreatures] That He gave His only begotten Son [patriarchal frame] So that whosoever believes in Him Shall not perish But have eternal life. Literalist Fundamentalist Conservative Evangelical Christians (should this prove not to be a complex oxymoron) have supplanted believing in God's radically interdependent EarthLove (first phrase) with doctrinal belief in Jesus of Nazareth as God's only begotten, privileged humane/divine hybrid Son of StraightWesternWhiteMale LeftBrain Dominant Military-Industrialized Retributive Win/Lose Judging God. This substitution of belief in the privileged sacred status of a Jewish male Teacher and Prophet, sharing his potentially viral experience of AbbaCreator as win/win power of universal multiculturing regenerative Love, is a culturally profound early straight white western (not particularly eastern nature/spirit nondualistic) privileged-prejudicial moment of defining God's economic and politically empowering grace in troubling oppositional terms: First phrase, Regenerative Source is universal Love, and, third phrase, Regenerative Source is historically-culturally, systemically racist. If, to be orthodox and effectively Christian is to be spiritually privileged, then those not born into evangelical Christian homes, King James Bible reading communities, Western dominating cultures are disproportionately and systematically and historically under privileged, disempowered unredeemed with less win/win graced direct experience of Love Light Word internal/external ego-refining/ecopolitical-defining win/win potential spiritual/natural life optimizers. Jesus of Nazareth's prime experiential teaching, story telling prophetic "God is multiculturing universal win/win Love" not revengeful monoculturing win/lose systemic racist Judge Is not resonantly heard, not resiliently felt, neither tasted nor seen through eyes and ears, hands and heart, mouth and nose of straight white male privilege Too leftbrain dominant to divinely know and nondualistically respect appreciate primacy of empowering cooperative green/blue Love experience over disempowering competitive redblooded Lust for theologically dogmatic unecological lack of relationship, anthropocentric xenophobic narcissistic individualistic ego-salvific power To claim sacred wealth of life for yourself and only your Tribe by denying truths of sacred/secular empowerment through win/win cooperative everyday experience of communion throughout all EarthTribes Divine/humane right/left yin/yang green/red nonviolent communicating Light of ChristMass Love Words Stories of CoRedemption Democratic, not autocratic, experiences both ecologically natural and theologically spiritual; Devoid Cleansed Wiped Clean of racist, straight male dominant, leftbrain misculturing unhealthy unwealthy supremacy.
