If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Justice Can't Exist Alongside European Thinking
Unity Consciousness #29

Justice Is Optimal Theory, European Thinking Is Suboptimal

"Optimal theory posits [puts forth] the following:

The nature of the particular set of assumptions (e.g., about the nature of reality, knowledge, how one knows, human identity, what is of value), become the intangible force gestating consciousness giving birth to perceptions, thoughts, feelings, meanings, and subsequently behavior.

These principles emanating from an optimal worldview become collectively implemented as social policies, laws, institutional practices and procedures.

[However,] by virtue of its fragmented nature, the current dominant social reality constructed is prone to [human] racism, sexism, classism, ageism, environmental degradation, elitism, rankism, and is thus, termed suboptimal.

A sense of self alienated from its interconnecting core and moral compass informs discontinuous and fragmented perceptions which will fuel thought, feelings and behaviors that extend all the way through to social policies, practices and procedures, and laws. [This fits the definition of Racism]

Institutionally reinforced, the principles underlying a suboptimal worldview will make it virtually impossible to create a just, sacred, and sustainable world.

The fragmented mindset prevents holistic, integrative thinking, and will reflect the incapacity for the higher stages of ego, moral, and spiritual development." (1)


To expect Europeans living in an Ice Age culture, to operate as if they lived in a tropical country would be not dealing with reality. To expect the lifestyle of a man in the Ice Age to have the same moral values compared to a man coming from the sun climate would be opposite to reality. (2)
