RE: On Frailty and White Australia
That was rather powerful and well said. It is very difficult to have sympathy for those who spout hate and ignorance, but I am also humble enough to know that I once did the same out of ignorance and upbringing and that writing people off doesn't allow them room to change.
It takes interacting with indigenous people (and people of various other backgrounds and cultures) to see how they live, what they eat, how they operate to really eliminate fear and cultivate understanding, etc.
Thanks. I so agree. I get so frustrated at the lack of space to change granted to people. I mean, WTF? Insecure people who give themselves a boost by being self-righteous towards those who are still blind to how being racist is something we were taught to do? Where's the community in that? I'm so sick of living in this dumbass game:)
