Re: How do we accept, without condoning, racial prejudice?<tohine2atchu>

Hello my dear, I know exactly what you are talking about, since I feel this energy in various levels of my own being. In a recent trip I made , I got inside of an airplane in San Francisco International Airport ( the most terrible airport I have seen, since I hardly could find one living Being that could speak English). I had the window seat(I just love window seats, it is part of my nature*wink*wink*), then Here comes this Couple.It was like 10 am and I just had a bath in the early morning when I caught the little airplane to SF. This Lady seats on the center seat and her husband on the aisle seat. Then she starts shaking her hands frantically and make signs as something was putrefied on the place. I had a book with me, and I thought... what is possible going on? She is not referring to me, I believe.Sad thing was that she was...When she could not stand anymore, she came and asked me: How can they allow people like you in this type of airplanes?I was completely duped. Then she asked me, what type of perfume I was wearing... because according to her should be a cheap one, because "PEOPLE of MY KIND" can't use quality perfumes. I told her I was not wearing perfumes, just washed my hair(which is very long) and was using a deodorant without perfume. I also told her, Lady, I am sorry, It is not like I am here to get you... and she said: You may as well, you dirty people from Middle east. The funniest thing is, I am Brazilian, and I am the Latin type, I have no idea where she got the impression I was an Arab woman, and It did not offend me the reference, but her attitude of Intolerance and dissension. I can go on and on about this. I believe that what you are referring is exactly what we are trying to change here, There is ONENESS, and we can understand and relate to people for what are our similarities, not our differences, because our differences are the reason our lives are rich in many ways : Culturally, Racially, Personally.Not the reason to keep us apart. Nonetheless I recognize this is all a struggle and we cannot close our eyes to the reality under the premise that this is not (still )happening. But we cannot stop, or give in or accept, we have to keep going , together we can change things, even if it is one person at the time, one soul at the time, one heart at the time. We are here for THAT purpose, to facilitate Change in many levels. Many blessings to you, my dear, and I am sorry if I talked too much.Peace ,love and joy be with you always.Love and respect to all,Liane>> I know we are ascending to a new consciousness, but when you are an> indigenous minority, in your own country & are regarded as lowlifes,> thugs, & terrorists; when you are facing the same prejudice your> forefathers fought, acceptance is not enough, acceptance merely allows> prejudice.

Tena koe/greetings ((Rhonda)),

blessed with your reply. Please do not feel ashamed... there is no

need, you cannot & should not have to feel that. I know We are all

Indigenous to one Mother Earth.

It is the the mentality I struggle to deal with...it is no different

to all forms of prejudice. I have healed the anger & pain within of

racism, but sometimes you wonder why? When society reflects &

magnifies it sometimes.

Today I saw our people ridiculed on TV. I rang to complain to the News

station, they said they had aired it for " entertainment " value.

I was again in disbelief. I asked them to take it off the internet,

but they haven't. Anyone can view it, & it just victimizes an already

victimized community.

I am pleased to meet you Rhonda. We moved to Australia when I was 2 &

moved home to NZ when I was 10yrs. I shared your experience, lol.

Seeing & experiencing prejudice but not understanding it, as " us kids "

were all happy, with each other.

Faith to know all this will pass...(give me strength,lol). Great to

meet you Rhonda, Namaste, Aroha, Love, Light!

just call me Hine (hee-ne):-)
