    Human Variation (race) & Group Privilege (ist/ism)

    By UclaXi  |  Posted November 17, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     UclaXi says racial identity has its limits, so he prefers the universal identity where people are defined more than just their skin color. "The message I would want the world to know about being black is that humans are shades of brown. Race is illusory," he says.
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    If "Human Variation", is a more accurate descriptor of #TeamHumanity, than "race", & #GroupPrivilege, is a more Objective Observation, than ist/ism, then I, invite you to Contemplate this: Am I black/minority? Or Am I, a member of an illusory group, that's perceived to be in the minority/black?

    If utilizing #SeparationLanguage, is the vehicle, we can use, to take us to that place of Respect, Inclusion, Connection, Equality & Acceptance, count me in! If it's like a dog, chasing its tail, I suggest we create a different outcome, by developing a different Question/Paradigm! Feel me, #TeamHumanity?
