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

Are You Human? Demographics of Illusion & Confusion
Unity Consciousness #376

.

More often than not, upon meeting another American born and raised person, like myself, I'm asked, “Are you Muslim? Huh? Based on what? My best guess this question is asked is due to two reasons: My hair is locked and my name is not locked in the chains of a slave name. These must be the reasons because this question comes up within seconds of meeting the person.

Strangely enough, when, for most of my life, I wore my hair the way Americans do and had one of their names, no one ever asked if I was Christian.
Most of us think demographics are harmless. They are not. The way demographics are used today colors our perceptions of each other. The way demographics are used today is one of the main ways to create a greater sense of differences than actually exists. Demographics are used as psychological warfare to get the divided and conquered to further divide and conquer themselves.

There are not many places you can be, exist, live and have experiences around another human without demographics becoming significant. Things such as “race,” gender, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, where you live,where you were born, where you work, what do you do “for a living,” marital status, what school you attend, go on and on and on.

The way demographics are used in media, all other forms of education, including conversation, causes us to focus more on our differences than our commonalities. Demographics are used to create illusion, delusions of grandeur and confusion. As soon as we find a difference, we are different. We use this mentality throughout our daily lives in our thought processes.

More important demographics are often quickly and subconsciously overlooked, through programming, in order to get us to focus on the lesser demographics. No one asks, “Are you human?”

Even if they did, I get the feeling the next question would be, “Are you a semite?” The answer to both questions is the same, “Yes, we all are.”
