"An important distinction mindfulness asks us to make is between automatic judgment and the more considered, deliberate evaluation that we might describe as discernment."
– Rhonda Magee
Judgment: You're a White supremacist, racist as*hole who doesn't give a sh*t about the lived realities and experiences of Black people and other people of color.
Discernment: When we're willing to look, we see clearly that the concept of race was created to intentionally uphold a system in which the people newly deemed "White" were supreme.
Furthermore, we can discern that hundreds of years later the scientifically invalid concept of race is still aggressively being propagated to discriminate, marginalize, and oppress those deemed to be "not White" so that those deemed "White" can maintain supremacy.
We can also discern that too many people deemed White are unaware of how their White privilege affords them access to opportunities, resources, and more privileges.
We can discern, too, that too many people deemed White will do all they can to ignore, dismiss, downplay, and resist any implications that the system set up to sustain their supremacy has afforded them aforementioned privileges.
Ultimately, we can discern that none of this is necessarily a judgment of any individual White person, but simply a discernment to speak the truth.
