WHO IS A LADY?

I was talking to an Elder, a Clan Mother yesterday. We often talk at length at least twice a week on a variety of subjects. There is a lot to discuss as an Elder about the many things that gather life together. A lot of joking goes on in Native communities despite the concerns threatening the edges of our identities and validity of our existence and between us it was no different. Clan Mother and I share a spiritual heritage with our African and Native bloodlines, so you can imagine how deeply and encompassing our talks are.
I brought up a subject. Setting it up I had to speak about the panel of the CBS television show, The Doctors. I am not a fan of the show. The tone of it turns me immediately off, but occasionally I tune in, or like yesterday when the TV came on it was on. There are two new members, two women. I described the first as a Black woman with a wig, I suspected and the other a white lady with... The Elder cut me off.
"You see what you said?"
"What?"
"Did you hear what you said?"
"Yes. No. What did you hear?"
"You referred to the Black lady as a woman, and the white woman as a lady!" I didn't get it. She continued with an edge in her voice to simply explain the language I used was tied to an insistence that women be distinguished by classifications denoting superiority of one over the other. The Bible, she explained, talked of women being made after man, and women not made, but fashioned by God. White people insisted and drummed it into Black people that a woman is a lady if she is white, and forever a woman, but never referred to as a lady is the lot of Black women. I didn't realized this. I'd no recollection of Mommy talking about these things. I knew the word 'lady' vacillated between a woman who was dignified, or trashy. The vernacular of the word was in songs and roughly referred to in the language of tough men on film and on any given corner men congregated to talk about women and leer at them. I sat for a while bringing it all in. If I summed this up I'd be talking about language; the language of what is pure white standards.

Let's Talk About Racism

For such a short story you injected several subjects boldly. First, it is a high testament to your sense of manhood, and your essence that you travel with your ex-wife to her family reunion. You have established deep roots so you've broadened and deepened in this family of yours. You gave a glimpse into the whole spectrum of what you pass to your son. It is deep.
I don't know how to answer the questions without a lot of writing, but I will say that I think you are aware of every component of your short story. I respect that. It is fundamentally retarded to do this dance, but not many are willing to go to the roots of the story. The dance is preferable on the surface, or in a fighting circle where on can go back and forth, back and forth. You are in the thick of it and I'd like to hear your perspectives. - Gregory E. Woods 8.20.14

Poverty of Spirit: HOMELAND SECURITY
"I love to see the waste of money go down in flames. The Department of Homeland Security's origins steeped in sabotaging energies has not served a high purpose. It merely duplicated nefarious spirits action plans. I hope it closes." - Gregory E. Woods, 2.17.15
If Congress doesn't act before February 27, the Department of Homeland Security is going to run out of money and go into a partial shutdown. (Eighty-five percent of employees would still be working, but they wouldn't be getting paid.) Congress doesn't appear to have a plan for action; as of last week, before it broke for recess, House and Senate lawmakers were each telling each other to do something. Meanwhile, politicians in both parties have already skipped to the step where they blame the other party for the possible shutdown — making them seem pretty resigned to it happening. House Speaker John Boehner said on Sunday he's "certainly" ready for a DHS shutdown.

When did we stop being neighbors? When did the other person's feelings cease to matter? When did it become alright to see suffering of any kind, and turn the other way so as to not hurt our feelings?
Helping another doesn't mean everything is alright; it means for a moment their life is alright.
Reach out to those you haven't spoken to; be it neighbors, strangers, someone in need. Because in the end, it's your soul that needs it.
