Whiteness, White Supremacy and White PosessionAlana Lentin
This week will examine the role of race in upholding white supremacy on both a national and a global scale. We will look at whiteness as a form of possession and/or property. We will think about how whiteness works as an institution of power even if it associates itself with white-skinned people. We will ask how white advantage works in everyday situations. We will examine the concepts of ‘White Ignorance’, ‘White Innocence’ and ‘White Fragility’. We will examine the recent re-emergence of white supremacist movements in Australia and elsewhere and consider how they are attached to more everyday forms of whiteness. Finally, we will ask whether or not it is possible or desirable to dismantle and/or leave whiteness. What would refusing the benefits accrued through whiteness mean in a practical sense?
Unpacking Christian Privilege in a Nation Asserting "Religious Pluralism"Warren Blumenfeld
Christian hegemony I define as the overarching system of advantages bestowed on Christians. It is the institutionalization of a Christian norm or standard, which establishes and perpetuates the notion that all people are or should be Christian, thereby privileging Christians and Christianity, and excluding the needs, concerns, religious cultural practices, and life experiences of people who are not Christian. At times subtle and often overt, Christian hegemony is oppression by neglect, omission, erasure, and distortion, and also by design and intent. This unique slide presentation investigates the concept and realities of Christian privilege.

Universal traits among the world
Throughout the entire human history, people have never stopped debating about the issue of “what universal traits is” . A universal trait is the term to describe that every individual is sharing the same cultural background worldwide. However, for most people around the world their opinions toward “universal trait”are not balanced. According to the author Ethan Watter ’s “ Being Weird: How Culture Shapes the Mind “ , Kwame Appiah’s articles of “ Making Conversation” and “ The Primacy of Practice” , all of these articles are discussing about the universal traits but with a different view of it . Though people may come from different backgrounds, each person has his right to form their own recognition of the world in three ways: education, changing perspective of stereotypes and the conviction of human rights.
Appiah mentioned in his article “ Making Conversation” that under this diverse world, the key to become “cosmopolitan” is “globalized”. However, under the current society, it is hard for people to abandon their own background and fit in the world stage. The way to better solve this problem is through education. Education is the key to unlock the barriers between all odds around the world. “One is the idea that we have obligations to others, obligations that stretch beyond those to whom we are related by the ties of kith and kind, or even the more formal ties of a shared citizenship. The other is that we take seriously the value not just of human life but of particular human lives, which means taking an interest in the practices and beliefs that lend them significance.” One of education's responsibilities is to teach people how to be responsible citizens in any given society. For example , the existence of law is to preventing people from making mistakes.
Since the world has never been this globalized before ,changing perspective of stereotype is necessary for diversified society . “It’s generally agreed that all of us see the world in ways that are sometimes socially and culturally constructed, that pluralism is good, and that ethnocentrism is bad.”[920 ] It is all agreed that currently international interaction play a major role in all society , thus , it is important to recognize people from different backgrounds and places . It was found that where you grew up, and your culture affected how drastically the illusion was seen. Results reported Americans struggling the most to see identical lines. Understanding different cultures and traditions could help you be open-minded in order to become globalized . It had previously been assumed that Western culture was a good basis for human similarities. “the very way we think…makes us distinct from other humans on the planet” (497). The lack of cross cultural research has lead to wide misunderstandings about human kind. Scientists must reevaluate the way they think about the human brain, because i ...

btiltural conformity. Indeed, to some theorists such an obsession with
an articulated "common culture" has become synonymous with the
integrity of national identity itself In this context then, the form of
democracy we now face becomes "radical" in at least two senses of
the term. Not only does it imply a fundamental rejection of mono
lithic party politics in favor of broader models based on identity
groupings, but it also suggests the rejection of a set of national
accords seen by many to constitute the very glue that holds. the
nation together. These two factors make possible the type of new
spaces for engagement and new definitions of citizenship that radical
democracy implies.
In other writings I have sought to delineate the problems pro
duced by the binary epistemology of Enlightenment humanism
across a range of disciplinary fields: photography, film, television,
education, music, and new media.18
The roots of this enlightenment model are perhaps nowhere more
dearly articulated than in philosopher George W. F. Hegel's phe
nomenology, which mapped out a basic theory subject/object rela
tions. Hegel postulated an abstract dyad of the self and other,
constructed in the consciousness of individuals. Within this idealized
rendering, the subject envisions an external object that it comes to
recognize as different from itsel£ This difference produces a dissatis
faction that prompts the subject to absorb the attributes of the exter
nal other. He termed this process "sublation."19 According to Hegel,
sublation was the motor force of human learning, as the subject is
changed through the appropriatipn of new ideas and objects. What is
important to remember is that this dialectic was a pure function of
metaphysics. Although Hegel's fundamental subject/object dualism
was replicated for many decades in western philosophies and institu
tions, it was not a model of the world--as contemporary feminist,
poststructuralist, and postcolonial theories have made dear. Indeed,
it is now increasingly evident that it is less productive to view social
relations in binary "either/or" terms than in multiple "ands."

N THE 2000s the topic of values reemerged in public discourse as
a point of contention between liberals and conservatives, as well as
a rallying call for moral absolutists. The values debate has emerged
most strongly in debates over "good" and "evil" in people's lives and
on the international stage. In the 2000 presidential race, George W.
Bush ran on a platform of moral platitudes, echoed in his victory
speech by imploring Americans to vanquish "evil" from the world
and "teach our children values." 1 While President Barack Obama has
expressed his values in more nuanced terms, Obama' s appeals for
dialogue, tolerance, and responsibility conve ...

The principles of Learning from the Past, Individualism to Collective Identity, and a Spirit of Generosity as presented by Juana Bordas in "Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age."
We find in China’s sacred literature, not just fragments of wisdom, but a whole vision or pattern of life - tested through millennia of experience - that recognizes:
The goal of social evolution is an era of global peace and justice called the Great Unity; The spiritual nature and moral capacity of human beings; The development of spiritual capacity through responsible and thoughtful responses to the will of Heaven. These responses are expressed as initiatives by individuals, families and government, carried out in service to society, and are contributions to social development.

3. “Expansion”
From the moment we are born,
the world tends to have a
container already built for us
to fit inside: A social security
number, a gender, a race,
a profession or an I.Q. I ponder
if we are more defined by the
container we are in, rather than
what we are inside. Would we
recognize ourselves if we could
expand beyond our bodies?
Would we still be able to exist
if we were authentically
'un-contained'?

4. Ecojustice Theory
The roots of our domination over each other come from
the same root of domination we feel over the earth.
When biodiversity is threatened so is cultural diversity
Dominant elites exploit the earth and subordinated peoples
for their own benefit.
Social justice, critical social theories, and multiculturalism
are often anthropocentric
5. European Colonizers &
American Indians
Clash of two peoples with two
different “ecological selves”
European Colonizers: Nature for
profit, land ownership, enclosure,
capitalist mindset/values
American Indians: Nurturance,
reciprocity, sustainable mindset/
values
Genocide: From up to 18 million in
1490’s to 190,000 in 1890, up to 200
million Indians died in the Americas
Land Domination
6. European Colonizers &
West Africans
Clash of two peoples with two
different “ecological selves”
European Colonizers: Nature for

West Africans: Nurturance, reciprocity,
sustainable mindset/values
Slavery: About 12 million captured
and shipped to the Americas, 645,000
brought to the U.S., nearly 4 million
slaves in the 1860 census
Domination for profit via capitalism
7. Christians &
Earth-Based Spiritualities
Movement out of nature and into
“Human” as separate from nature
Nature is where Satan resides
Technology is Godly & righteous
Christian missionaries with indigenous
peoples globally, views on nudity
Killing of at least tens of thousands of
“witches” from 1400s-1600s
Continued persecution of paganism,
neopaganism, and Wicca
8. Summary Points of Ecojustice Theory
1. Eliminating eco-racism
2. Revitalizing the commons to create a balance between market
and non-market aspects of community life
3. Ending the industrialized nations’ exploitation and cultural
colonization of third-world nations
4. Ensure that the hubris and ideology of Western industrial
culture does not diminish future generations’ ways of living and
quality of life
5. Support an “Earth Democracy”--the right of nature to flourish
rather than be contingent upon the demands of humans

10. Art as Myth
Myths are oral art, as opposed to visual art
“A myth is, in a sense, the very truest of stories, a
story that reveals universal qualities of that human
condition, of the world, and the deeper meanings and
possibilities of our lives.” (Plotkin, 2003, p. 204)
Myths contain “layers upon layers of significance,
like bands of rock in a canyon wall, each stratum
holding and hiding untold treasures and mysteries.
We become aware of the different layers only as we
develop spiritually.” (Plotkin, 2003, p. 205)
11. Art as Myth
Myths are “stories”
acting as banks that store
cultural values, origins
of thinking, rituals, and
traditions that might
otherwise be lost.
Connection to ecojustice
pedagogy because of
how myths can help to
question dominant and
privileged mindsets.

13. Hula
“Hula is an important part of our Hawaiian culture.
It leads us to who we are as people today.”
15. Aloha & Haole
Aloha
“Together, we breathe the sacred breath”
A consciousness that we are inescapably interwoven with
each other and the earth.
What we do to each other and the earth, we do to ourselves.
16. Aloha & Haole
Haole
“One who is without sacred breath”
A consciousness that does not include an awareness that we are
inescapably interwoven with each other and the earth.
A consciousness only of self and an ignorance of one’s energetic and
spiritual impact. Often comes with little or no understanding of
spirituality or the purpose of one’s soul (soul loss).
