Lets- examine the words we use so easily, foolishly, because of continued colonization and white supremacy. Let's stop acting. Like we know...(Idolitry. Avatar. Karma. Kush...) Let's stop- dismissing (perpetually attempting to erase) peoples. Indigenous peoples rights and wisdom. Let's connect! Pay attention. Learn... Digest... Be silent in the best way possible (white colonizing "teachers"). Black Lives Matter. Indigenous Lives Matter.

This false concept was created and used by monotheistic supremacists to commit genocides of Indigenous peoples all over the world.

Healing From White Yoga: It's important to understand this. Every colonized community has a great deal of colonial trauma. This can lead to some of those community members wanting to assimilate with the colonizers. But they cannot truly assimilate. They are always considered outsiders by the colonizers in some, no matter what they do. This leads them to try to appease their colonizers by being the "token". Colonizers take advantage of such colonized peoples' trauma because they can now pretend to have proximity to the people they have colonized. This leads to exploitation, divide and conquer, and even more colonizations.
So as just one example: When you think such-and-such South Asian person gave you permission to culturally appropriate yoga, even though entire lineages have been calling it out for generations and telling westerners to stop (which they have been), you are a colonizer taking advantage of the colonial trauma of a token. It is violent. Stop it.

Sounds alot like Stockholm syndrome'

We’d love to help in the repair work. Much harm has been caused by so many of us without even realizing the damage left in our wake."

"Erasing or Ignoring History is one of the main tools of colonization. This helps the colonizers to idealize their own history and support the idea that their values are better and greater than those who they colonized. That's why they don't teach us our history in schools. "
