Time for another tug on the teats of super-woke theorising:
White people ‘can’t dance’ because white-ness is a traumatized state that is disconnected from the body.
Set aside those thoughts of ballet, Footloose and MGM musicals. We must press on.
Colonization/Westernization has profoundly impacted the way we move our bodies. Just think about even this little fact: most non-European people didn’t wear pants before colonization, and if they did, they were not tight.
Tight pants. The obvious tool with which to oppress the Brown-And-Noble-By-Default.
We also generally didn’t sit on chairs. We squatted or sat on the ground. Many of our cultures didn’t glorify tight muscular abs.
Damn you, White Devil, conquering the world with chairs. And defined abdominals.
Our bodies ‘moved’ completely differently before colonization/Westernization. We had a much greater sense of the lower body and abdomen.
In short, the Brown-And-Noble-By-Default “have been white-ified,” which is “trauma.” You see,
White-ness… is an energetic imbalance caused by a loss of spinal fluidity and awareness of the lower body. Emotional energy becomes concentrated in the upper body, particularly gathering in the mind. To live in a world dominated by white-ness is to live in an environment that denies and protects white-ness as embodied trauma.
If that’s insufficiently persuasive,
White-ness is traumatization itself.
The “white body,” it turns out, is a “state of disconnection between mind and body. It is ungrounded and cannot feel the earth.” And which therefore has to be corrected, by an expert, a healer, for $200 an hour.
