Hypocrisy In White

I am reading "Democracy in Black" by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. but continue reconstructing this title "Hypocrisy in Only White." Because when I let my memory look back to my own self-interests in history as archaeological digging and prying and discovery, adventure and curiosity of my internal ecological development, I reweave back through still on-going matriarchal lines that include, are shared with, anyone capable of reading and comprehending these words of regenerating memory. Back to darker denser richer genes and memes of cooperative to still thrive today, saving competitions for survival moments. Back to better to prey together side by side as neanderthal brothers and sisters than to grow predative against each other. This Golden Rule of dark Afro-Eurasian equatorial resonant depth of historical origin in normative play at least until we substitute capitalism's supremacist agendas for rationalism's ego-ecocentric reweaving memory of this original Earth Mom magical and mysterious then worshiped and danced ritualed and cooperative ownership co-governing, then more modern radical eccentricities forgetting our shared matriarchal regenetic memory of dualdark hypocrisies of merely white inferiority complexes disease dissonance despair of remaining fully who we together are, where we have been predating history where we could return each morning with greatest polyphonic joy. To paraphrase David Holmgren (Permaculture, p. 113) Containers were one essential organic innovation necessary for this cooperative agrarian revolution. Opportunities to refill organically produced bodies are enormous transitioning into recycling energy descent for shared cooperative memory. Reimaging full organic containers is far better than sending us away and down and out for recycling. Most official ecopolitical waste reduction strategies place little emphasis on organic reuse refilling re-educating deep ecologically learning containers, or confuse WinWin refueling, reweaving, with capitalism's WinLose recycling, switching productive containers into merely consuming eventual empties, bleached-out white-washed faded hypocrisies of purest supremacy against nothing deeply densely richly resonantly valued.
