12 Steps to Recover from Colonized Thinking (#12SRCT)

~ The aim of #RCT is to provide people a process for changing how they've been taught to think and behave patriarchy which fosters inequality, i.e., classism, sexism, and racism to thinking matriarchy which fosters equity. The 12 step process, if followed, has been proven to begin to change how one thinks and behaves in 90 days. To promote permanent change, THIS 12 step program includes New Way of Thinking (#NWTC) classes to correct the lies patriarchy has spread around the world. The 12-18 month classes include 1) Understanding the two primary global cultures, matriarchy and patriarchy (#UMPC), 2) Understanding the system of racism/white supremacy (#USRwS), and 3) Pre-Columbus-colonial African History (#PCAH).

What Will Your Grandchildrens’ Children Breathe?

Deciding: U.N. Climate Talks r Like Middle School Cliques

…Group Names r Telling…

Delegates took their seats during the plenary session at the Bonn climate change conference on March 10, 2014. Negotiations resume this week; by the end of the year, the U.N. hopes to have forged a new global agreement.

It seems to be part of human nature to want to belong to a group. People constantly form groups, in all kinds of situations, and high-stakes negotiations on climate change are no exception.

Ever heard of the Umbrella Group? Or the Like-Minded Developing Countries? How about the Group of 77? (Here’s a hint — it doesn’t actually have 77 countries.)

Delegates from nearly 200 countries are meeting in Bonn, Germany this week to resume negotiations on a new global agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions — it’s part of the run up to a major summit in Paris later this year. And the countries negotiate in groups, some of which are a little puzzling.

Climate

“At last count, I believe there are now 14 groups,” says Elliot Diringer, executive vice president of the nonprofit Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. “It might take you back to junior high school and cliques, which can be very powerful forces actually.”

By the end of this year, the United Nations hopes to have forged a new global agreement that will affect everything from energy production to agriculture to transportation. So it makes sense for countries with shared interests to negotiate in packs.

“Members of groups coordinate their positions because there’s a strength in numbers,” says Diringer. “They also serve as a bit of a support system, particularly for smaller countries.”

Diringer has been watching U.N. climate negotiations for two decades. In the early days, he says, there were just a few groups. For example, members of the European Union have always negotiated together.

“You then saw the emergence of the Umbrella Group, which is basically the developed countries that are not within the European Union,” he explains. The group includes Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, Norway, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the United States.

Where did the name come from? No one could tell me. But one diplomat jokingly told me it was because an umbrella is a good hiding place.

“These are guys who wanted to do as little as possible. And so they found a shade for themselves,” jokes Nozipho Mxakato-Diseko, an ambassador from South Africa. “Canada’s got its oil from tar sands, you know. Where better do you go? You go to the Umbrella Group, to hide.”

Now that the U. S. has started talking big about taking action on climate change, she says, “I think there’s a curiosity as to what’s going to happen to the Umbrella Group.”

Her country, South Africa, is currently chair of the largest group in the negotiations. It’s called the Group of 77 and China. The name is left over from when the group first formed; now it includes a lot more countries. “It’s 134 in all,” says Mxakato-Diseko.

Its members are developing countries — including Afghanistan, Botswana and Viet Nam. Mxakato-Diseko characterizes the members as, “countries that come to this process with an understanding of what climate change is because they feel the impact most immediately — and have been feeling the impact for quite a while now.”

But that doesn’t mean everybody in that group sees things exactly the same way.

“The most significant change we’ve seen in groups over the years is the emergence of smaller groups of developing countries,” says Diringer.

If you’re a tiny island state and feel that your very existence is threatened by melting ice and rising seas, he says, “at a certain point you realize that your interests may not be the same as those of a major emitting country like China or India.”

It’s now common for a member of the Group of 77 to also belong to another group. Sometimes the name of the group gives you a clue about the common interests, such as the Coalition for Rainforest Nations or the Mountainous Landlocked Developing Countries or the Alliance of Small Island States.

Other times, the name is less revealing. For example, the Like-Minded Group of Developing Countries includes nations like Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, and Venezuela. What are they like-minded about? Diringer says they’re seen as the hardliners.

“They, generally speaking, hew very closely to the traditional developing country view that there should be very stark differentiation between the obligations of developed and developing countries,” he explains.

Meanwhile, other developing nations say they’ll take action on their own, without waiting around for richer countries. Some of them formed a group called the Independent Association of Latin America and the Caribbean.

“So you’ve seen, to some degree, a splintering of the developing countries,” Diringer says. “And on the whole I actually think that’s healthy. Because if everyone sticks to group positions and feels constrained by those group positions, it can be hard to make progress.”

And then, there’s the group that was started by Switzerland. About 15 years ago, famously neutral Switzerland wasn’t part of any group. Franz Perrez, Switzerland’s chief negotiator on climate change issues, says the Swiss isolation became a problem when, at one point in the climate talks, the leaders of key groups went to a private room to negotiate.

Perrez says his predecessor tried to join the discussion, “but was escorted out of the room by security because he was not representing a group.”

The very next day, he says, Switzerland announced it was forming its own group “and that any country who doesn’t have a home is welcome to join that group.”

Switzerland ended up banding together with Mexico, South Korea, Lichtenstein, and Monaco. This unlikely team is called the Environmental Integrity Group.

Roberto Dondisch, Mexico’s lead climate change negotiator, says this group is really influential because its members are so different from each other, and cross so many divides. Both developed and developing countries seem to think, well, if those guys can agree on something, maybe we should take a look.

“You know if we can get Mexico and Switzerland and Korea to share the same points,” says Dondisch, “you have a pretty good shot that, that document could be adopted by almost everybody in the room.”

And that is the ultimate goal of the meetings in Bonn and Paris — to put forward a plan to battle climate change that virtually every nation in the world can sign on to. For that to happen, all these different groups will have to somehow come together and become one.

European Marriage, Which Focus On Love & Sex & Property…Marriages The World Over Among People of Color, Marriage is A About Family &…To Include Polyandry 

Himalays, Lama

Himalays, Lama

The Nyinban Tibet

The Nyinba of Tibet

The Maasai recognize both polygamy and polyandry

The Maasai recognize both polygamy and polyandry

Anthropologist have found 53 societies that still recognize polyandry; most often found in Nepal, Tibet, and India.  It’s found world wide but most often in egalitarian societies.  These marriages are not about ‘sex’ but usually are in response to environmental conditions, for instance, where there aren’t many women…a woman will marry all the brothers.  She’ll sleep with each by the month so as to know to whom the belongs.  Interestingly, divorce is scarce where there’s polyandry.

In Asia, it allows families in areas of scarce farmable land to hold agricultural estates together. The marriage of all brothers in a family to the same wife allows plots of family-owned land to remain intact and undivided.”

In other cultures, it appears that a man may arrange a second husband (again, frequently his brother) for his wife because he knows that, when he must be absent, the second husband will protect his wife — and thus his interests. And if she gets impregnated while Husband #1 is gone, it will be by someone of whom he has approved in advance. Anthropologists have recorded this kind of situation among certain cultures among the Inuit (the people formerly called Eskimos).

Then there’s the “father effect” among the Bari people of Venezuela. The Bari have a system for recognizing two living men as both being fathers of a single child.  The Bari people think children with two fathers are significantly more likely to survive to age 15 than children with only one — hence the term “father effect.”

Two fathers? As odd as it can sound to those of us who know of human development as the one-egg-meets-one-sperm story, some cultures maintain the idea that fetuses develop in the womb as the result of multiple contributions of semen over the course of a pregnancy.  Two men can be socially recognized as legitimate fathers of a single child.

Why Is Homicide Rate Increasing In Cities Across The Country?  Those In Power Know Why…Scientific Studies Were Done In The 30-40’s Prompted Relocating Blacks Into Overcrowded Public Housing…Exacerbated In 2015 By The Threat Of Homelessness Per Gentrification

Calhoun’s “rat utopia” experiments
Calhoun’s “rat utopia” experiments were conducted at a Montgomery County farm. In the graphic above (from Ramsden’s lecture slides), rodents are shown in four pens separated by electrified partitions. As the population grew past capacity, Calhoun observed a developing social hierarchy with toxic pathologies.

Who has put too many fish in a small tank…what happens?

From the mid-1950s to the late 1980s, a noted NIH ecologist and experimental psychologist developed a theory on crowding.  Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic over activity to a pathological withdrawal stress, alienation, hostility, sexual perversion, a large proportion of the population became bisexual, then increasingly homosexual, and finally asexual. There was a breakdown in maternal behavior. Mothers stopped caring for their young, stopped building a nest for them and even began to attack them, resulting in a 96 percent mortality rate in the two crowded pens. Calhoun coined a term—“behavioral sink”—to describe the decay.

Does not the same happen in jails…well, it happens in public housing, too.

Skin Color: The Deciding Factor…Whether It’s A Protest or A Mob or A Mere Instance of Disruptive Behavior?

A Microaggression?
When Blacks Protest Against Police Murders It’s A Mob Or Riot…But When Whites Riot It’s Disruptive Behavior
What We Do Is…A Popular Revolt Against A Government or Its Policies; A Rebellion Is An Uprising or Revolt
15 Jun 2011, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada --- June 15, 2011 - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - Violence broke out Wednesday evening following the Vancouver Canucks' defeat to the Boston Bruins in Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. Cars were set on fire and shops were looted following the ice hockey team's 4-0 defeat to the Boston Bruins. --- Image by ? Sergei Bachlakov/ZUMA Press/Corbis

(CNN) — When black people protest against police violence in Ferguson, Missouri, they’re thought of as a “mob.”

But when white people got up in arms at the Pumpkin Festival in Keene, New Hampshire, a few weeks ago — for apparently no reason whatsoever — they were merely accused of “disruptive behavior.”

The two situations — Black protests in Ferguson and white drunken violence in Keene — are not at all equivalent.  However, it’s revealing how the two groups are perceived so differently by us…oh, my mistake…not by us but by them, (white) society and the (white) media.  But how is it that Black people protesting ‘murder by police’ is condemned by white America, while white protest over the lost of a game is excused and explained away?

Well, according to Philip Bump in his June 19, 2015 Washington Post article, ‘Why We Shouldn’t Call Dylann Roof A Terrorist’, blatently explains, he, they, whites…identify with Roof because they share a skin color: “Most Americans are white, and we see white people like ourselves. When I see Dylann Roof, I remember being a white male his age, barely out of my teenage years and experiencing weird anger in a difficult time…. We can identify much more easily with who he is.”

They see things from ‘their’ world view, ‘their life experiences that inform them…not ours.  The two world views are different…’their’ life experience is different from ‘ours’…isn’t it?  Whether you think so or not, Bump has explained the difference. And, it’s understandable.

From our world view and life experience, stated differently, it’s racism/white supremacy. But what can we do about it.  Two things, I think…1st, accept that they identify with other whites, not us. It’s understandable, its natural, and the human thing to do.

But we need to detox from thinking they see us all the same way…they don’t…

So to detox, the 2nd thing we can do is make a new habit of identifying microaggression, counter microaggressions, fight against racist media assaults.

Let’s begin write editorials identifying the hypocrisy and demanding fair/equitable media coverage.  Let’s stop letting it slide.

These are assaults, racial assaults and they take their toll on us…psychologically, they really do.  Siting them,…every time they occur will, at least, I think…get us in the psychological position of ‘self defense’…playing a ‘racial dozens’, if you will.  The practice will counter the ‘internalized racial inferiority’ we’ve been taught.

Yes, I think identifying, countering, and ‘fighting back’ against racial assaults is a ‘good habit’ for us to form…a psychological self defense thought mechanism.

What do you think my idea?

What else can we do to help us heal?

Is this an example of a microagression or should we call it something else?

Washington Post: Don’t Say ‘Terrorist’ About ‘White People Like Ourselves’

Let’s Not Call White People “Terrorist”, No Matter How Many They Kill
Reserving The Word “Terrorist” For Non-Whites
l.facebook.com/l.php

‘Dylann Roof appearing in courtCorporate media are demonstrably reluctant to use the word “terrorist” with regards to Charleston shooting suspect Dylann Roof–even though the massacre would seem to meet the legal definition of terrorism, as violent crimes that “appear to be intended…to intimidate or coerce a civilian population.” The next day, 367 stories in papers accross the country, only 24 mentioned “terrorism” or “terrorist”–just 7 percent.

When two bombs went off at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, killing three and injuring hundreds.  A search of the Nexis news database for US newspapers on the next day turns up 2,593 stories mentioning the marathon, virtually all of them about the bombing, of these, 887, or 34 percent, used the word “terrorism” or a variant of the word.

In February 2010, a man named Joseph Stack deliberately flew his small airplane into the side of a building that housed a regional IRS office in Austin, Texas, killing himself, an IRS manager and injured 13 others. STACK  WAS  WHITE  AND  NON-MUSLIM.   As a result, not only was the word “terrorism” not applied to Stack, but it was explicitly declared in applicable by media outlets and government officials alike.

In Philip Bump’s June 19, 2015 Washington Post article, ‘Why We Shouldn’t Call Dylann Roof A Terrorist’, he explains…it’s skin color.

“Most Americans are white, and we see white people like ourselves. When I see Dylann Roof, I remember being a white male his age, barely out of my teenage years and experiencing weird anger in a difficult time…. We can identify much more easily with who he is.”

White People Lie About Sex In Africa…Women Marry Women In Africa…Not For Sex But Inheritance…Listen, Africa Speaks For ItselfScreenshot (301)…African Women Speak For Themselves

Another example of how African culture protects…

…no son, so she marries a younger woman who’s impregnated by her brother and male children enable her to inherit.  Whites either don’t understand customs that are different from theirs and, they lie…but ‘intimacy’ in Africa isn’t about sex.   Life in Africa is not ‘sexualized’…meaning, everything about sex,  like life is in white countries.  Of course, in urban Africa, life is Europeanized per the media.  The media changes culture.

The Some’s are from Dagara Tribe of Burkina Faso
Their marriaged was arranged…he was here in the US and she in Burkina Faso; they had never met. Marriage in Africa is not about sex…it’s about community and family. Compatable relationships are better for the community and family than those that are not…so, often, the elders decide who should marry whom.

Katrina, The Ernest Morial Convention Center…A Refugee Camp From Hell

The Ubuntu Of African Culture Protected Us … When Decency Prevailed Over Depravity … Though Conditions – Worse Than In 3rd World Refugee Camps

Katrina

In the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina, law enforcement in New Orleans erroneously told evacuees to gather at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to await rescue.  25,000 people were huddled inside the vast convention center — the length of four city blocks — and on the sidewalk. Day after day they waited for buses, but NO ONE CAME. The fiasco at the convention center came to epitomize the disorganized, inadequate response to the disaster by local, state and federal officials.

BUT DECENCY PREVAILED…. the African philosophy of Ubuntu protected us.  Translated, the Zulu philosophy of Ubuntu means, “humanness” or “I am because you are.”

The widely circulated reports of the rape and throat-slashing of a young girl in a bathroom, and of bodies stacked in a walk-in refrigerator simply never happened.  Young men who found water bottles took what they needed and distributed the rest. When people broke into the Riverwalk Marketplace mall next door, they took one pair of sneakers and gave away two more.

White Supremacy lies on Black people consistently and persistently…deflecting the truth from themselves…to make us look like malicious animals instead of themselves.  They didn’t come.  Imagine, “[n]ot one public official has come here even though we hear ’em on the radio talkin’ their s***.  During the crisis, THEY  LIED…ON  PUBLIC  RADIO.  Not one person from the convention center. Not one person from the Red Cross. [Dead] bodies are here. …This is craziness!”

NO  RED  CROSS!!!!  While people, families, women, children, babies…suffered.  “I’m about to fall out, my family’s about to fall out,” he said, his voice rising. “We haven’t eaten in three to four days. These babies they sick. Everybody around here needs water, we don’t have no cold water. We don’t have water to wash our kids.”

THE  HUMAN  TRASH  OF  NEW  ORLEANS… You know, everybody there just felt like trash, like part of the garbage that was there,” he remembers, “because that’s the kind of impact it left on us. It was like we was left for dead.”

Johnny Jackson, now, 71, was there.  He’s still a member of the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club…he may not remember, but Ubuntu is the Zulu philosophy meaning ‘humanness’  or  ‘I am because you are’…every African language has a word for it, Ubuntu…attesting to the cultural unity of Black Africa.  The Ubuntu of African culture served to protect the 25,000 in the Ernest Morial Convention Center when the white man via white supremacy didn’t come.

Katrina 10 Years Later & Corporate Media’s Broken Promises

Promises To Examine Racial & Economic Causes Behind The Largely Human-Caused Disaster & Bungled Relief & Recovery Efforts

Once we understand and accept the fact that sexism, classism, and racism are the roots of white culture, we won’t expect them to follow-thru on promises.  And, we’ll do our own research like  one_dc_logo (1)did to find John Boardman of Marriott Marquis guilty of lying about the training program he was paid $2 milliion to train and hire DC residents.

2015 – Katrina’s 10 year anniversary fines New Orleans gentrifying and a school system down from 70 % to less than 50% Black. Seems like the racial and economic chasms are worse…no wonder there was no study done.

It will soon be the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a devastating event that killed at least 1,800 people across the Gulf Coast region and displaced as many as half a million, followed by rebuilding efforts that were bungling and divisive.

Katrina was a major story for US media; reporters on the scene seemed viscerally affected and conveyed a sense of urgency and outrage at the lumbering federal response. And NBC‘s Brian Williams famously announced, “If this does not spark a national discussion on class, race, the environment, oil, Iraq, infrastructure and urban planning, I think we’ve failed.”

We didn’t really have that national discussion in a sustained way. Some media did better at acknowledging the impact of racism and poverty that meant the disaster hit some people much harder than others, but the serious work you’d hope would follow such recognition for the most part failed to materialize.

Hurricane Katrina is still affecting communities on the Gulf Coast, and some impacts are only really coming to light now. An April story in The Atlantic addressed the lasting trauma for children forced to evacuate their homes and move to new communities where they were unwelcome. More than one-third of displaced children fell at least a year behind in school.

As we look to see how media will talk about ongoing effects of Katrina and the aftermath, we first go back. Counter Spin has discussed various aspects of the story over the years, and this special episode brings you some of those conversations.

Corporate One-Percenters dominate NPR affiliates’ boards

By Aldo Guerrero

A representation of typical public radio board members: A new FAIR study finds that they are 66 percent male and 72 percent white, and 75 percent are members of the corporate elite.

American media is for their benefit…which is why they won’t finance a movie about Haiti with no white heroes…which is why we’ve got to finance our own media to tell our own stories and give view points from an African perspective.

Straight Outta Compton, though co-financed Universal and Legendary Pictures…

'Straight Outta Compton'

all it’s heroes and producers were Black.   A great movie…I’ll explain why later.
