When racism is real, one should be aware of it to avoid danger and also find new opportunities – but I think it should be framed differently to make it less real long-term.

By this, condemning racism is only a stop-gap measure in transcending the problem of disunity because if the condemnation doesn’t work, then what? Banish the racists, get violent with them, join with them? It’s still disunity.

Perhaps it’s even hypocritical to condemn someone who is condemning someone else. Condemnation in one’s mind is the problem with racism being just a derivative of it.

So what are the options?

Look for new language —
In one respect one can condemn “racism” but to condemn its synonyms mentioned here ie skin-centricity, color-bias, third-eye blindness, anti-fam seems wrong. It’s not about winning the fight, it’s about transcending the fight, and those new words should negate the fight associated with the R-word.

See “condemnation” as an illusion —

The Seventh Illusion, the Illusion of Condemnation, may be used to experience the fact that you are deserving of nothing but praise. This is something that you cannot fathom, for you live so deeply within your Illusion of Condemnation.

If, however, you lived within the heart of praise every moment, you could not experience it. Praise would mean nothing to you. You would not know what it was.

The glory of praise is lost when praise is all there is. Yet you have taken this awareness to an extreme, taking the illusion of imperfection and Condemnation to new levels, where you now actually believe praise to be wrong — especially self-praise. You are not to praise yourself, or to notice (much less announce) the glory of Who You Are. And you must be sparing in your praise of others. Praise, you have concluded, is not good.

The Illusion of Condemnation is also your announcement that you, and God, can be damaged. Exactly the opposite is true, of course, but you cannot know this truth, nor experience it, in the absence of any other reality. And so, you have created an alternate reality in which damage is possible, and Condemnation is proof of it.

Neale D. Walsch, 2000, page 59

Aim a crystal point at the third-eye —

It sounds silly, but to see the world (and people) differently may require a different sense organ to be used. Furthermore, consciousness travels and it may even help create the new community people feel is lacking. The third eye not only detects light – I think it projects it too.

Ignore victimhood (but not victims) and seek enlightenment and justice —
