“I can’t Breathe”
and this is not uttered at ICU by Covid patients …
It’s when a knee is pressed into your neck for nearly 10 minutes and you are already handcuffed. And there are enablers just standing there or even assisting already a beaten handcuffed man.
***
It’s not White against Black
It’s not White against Black, Brown & Yellow
But it’s White AND Black against racism
White, Black, Brown, Yellow all colors, it’s all people against racism and injustice
So I respect those with integrity and I know while many don’t protest on the streets; they support ultimately support humanity, compassion and justice.
We can’t just be sitting around meditating and finding our inner calm – sometimes for all people to get to do such inner work, taking action is the Karma Yogi … taking action; having an integrity; to fight … to lift fellow human beings.
and when I say fight, I don’t mean in a physical way but “fight” racism and injustice through where we put our money; our words, and our associations. Fight as in fight the enablers and those who don’t see the risks and dark future if we don’t fight ignorance, racism and undemocratic power/money controls. Fighting the temptation to just “feel better” by exercising and yoga-ing. Exercise and Yoga so that when you are off the mat, you can fight without burning out or getting sick. It’s about the energy to do what we need or want to do.
And not by preaching but by learning as much and amplifying THE GOOD, the sane, the intelligence, really all around us.
