Greetings of good cheer to all! This article continues the series on micro-aggressions. I find it very interesting and helpful because it is something that is still real for us as a People and rather than ignore it, accept it and do nothing, or worse yet, experience it and then add to it with our own energy of hate, we can empower ourselves to face it and transcend it with a new technology - a new way of thinking.


Here's the latest article from the Native American site at BellaOnline.com.
