A Racist or A Phobic?

Last updated on: November 18, 2011 at 9:31 pm By nouvellenoirgoddess

A Racist or A Phobic? “My journey has taken me past constructions of race, past constructions of mixed race, and into an understanding of human difference that does not include race as a meaningful category.” (Spencer in Penn, 2002, p.10) My latest post is written slightly regarding identifying myself as raceless as well as providing a brief description of what raceless is. The second part is going marginally into the depth of individuals, primarily my voice, who are raceless and... Read more

Black Girls in Suburbia Documentary: This Suburban Black Girl Story

Last updated on: November 7, 2011 at 2:42 am By nouvellenoirgoddess

Black Girls in Suburbia Documentary: This Suburban Black Girl Story Black Girls in Suburbia is a documentary that takes an in-depth look into individual black women who were raised and/or live in a predominately white community. I must admit, the trailer is a bit too melodramatic in my personal opinion. Notwithstanding, it shouldn’t dismiss the actual pain of what these brave individuals share with the filmmakers; the balancing act of being true to oneself while defining, at times reeducating, societal...

Guest Post: Making it Racial

Last updated on: November 2, 2011 at 6:21 am By Crystal Blanton

by K. Pythia Theocritos There comes a time in many African American lives where, by relaying something from their social narrative will have their statement tagged as “making it racial.” When I was younger, I was very quick to correct this assertion by reframing, or even apologizing for, my statement. Socially, minorities are taught that “making it racial” means blowing things out of proportion, or taking things out of context. At the very worst it is seen as obstructing an... Read more

Finding Strength for Ignorance: Walking through Prejudice

Last updated on: October 29, 2011 at 9:11 am By Crystal Blanton

There are moments that happen and I often wonder if it is the wrong place at the wrong time or the right place at just the right time to inspire my thoughts and remind me of my mission. This week has been full of those moments and although they are sometimes painful or disheartening, these moments are also a part of the building materials that have made me who I am. Having varied experiences that evoke emotion within me have... Read more

The Revolution was Televised

Last updated on: October 27, 2011 at 5:02 am By Crystal Blanton

Where do I start in verbalizing the pure disgust I feel after watching the institutionalized racism, sexism, classism and power issues of what I just saw before me? I don’t know where to start so I will first start with a picture of the faces of Occupy Oakland. These are the faces of a community that showed up to represent the rights of those who have fallen into the traps of a money hungry, capitalistic society that takes away from... Read more

Honoring Who I Have Become

Last updated on: October 15, 2011 at 5:27 am By Crystal Blanton

Interestingly, I am a Black Wiccan. I have heard of others talk of being asked why they are Wiccan instead of a path “from their ancestry”. I have a lot I could say about this but that would side track this particular conversation. I have not had people ask me this directly but I know that I am not the stereotype of a Pagan. I am ok with that, really, but there is some pressure associated with being a bit... Read more

To Degree or Not to Degree, That is the Question (or is it really?)

Last updated on: October 12, 2011 at 7:34 am By Crystal Blanton

After a weekly conversation on a the Pagan Household yahoo group this week, it really pushed me to thinking about what I think is a part of the varying dynamics within the Pagan community with regards to the need for trained clergy and leaders. I am always quite confused by the resistance in the community around the “degree” system and the need for a system of information sharing that helps to ensure that passing of knowledge is outlined and organized....

Lost in Translation… or maybe not

Last updated on: October 4, 2011 at 6:24 am By Crystal Blanton

How do you find the right words to describe the delicate fusion between who you are, who you have become and who you want to be? I think that most people are in a dance with themselves in finding out the answers to those very questions. Sometimes being a Black, Woman, Wiccan High Priestess feels like I am doing the jig to the DJ spinning techno and country music simultaneously. I waddled my way through my teen years as a...
