Responding to Portlandhardstylers

Nice music...
So I read your entire post on facebook, and I have to confess from the start that I will not cover every point you made, mainly because I do not feel qualified to do so. You took my example of Malcolm X and Dr. King and gave a very interesting commentary on the them, the civil rights movement and how it relates to today. I thought it was interesting that you said the civil rights movement was an failure in a success. I have to admit I don't know if I can agree with that, however I totally admit my personal background and bias probably prevents me from seeing what it is you are referring to. From my personal understanding and studying of the civil rights movement, it brought progress that was long overdue in our American society. Is more needed? Can we progress even more then where we ended up post the 1960's? Yes! So I can say that we need to have more progress as far as social justice goes.

I want to try and understand your two other points and perhaps you can say more about them in your response. You say that due to stereotypes, which I assume you mean stem from the civil rights era, people can brush off minorities based on these stereotypes. Your third point is we have black history month etc, and you view that as hidden segregation. Well I have to confess I have never seen these things, at least the history months, in such light, but perhaps I am naive. I guess all I can really say, given my limited understanding of this topic, is that we have come a long way, but we need to keep progressing when it comes to civil rights and social justice. How we will achieve these goals, is of course, subjective.

I will be making a video on Jung's Psychological types, wherein I hope to explain his views on personality. In fact, there will probably be more then one video on the subject, there is a lot of ground to cover. Yes, I do consider myself "Jungian orientated" when it comes to schools of thought in psychology. You are an ENFJ? That is awesome! I am personally an Introvert, who uses Intuition and Feeling primarily. However I see that you are also primary when it comes to Feeling and Intuition so we are only different when it comes to the Extrovert and Introvert. I have never taken the Myers-Briggs Test, however I have studied personality in one of my psychology classes. Since we see things from different points of view, I am sure this means we will keep having interesting discussions in the near future!

What this means is that Extroverts tend to see objects outside of themselves and deal with the objects as they appear. Introverts typically take the object "into themselves" and try to understand the depth of the object on a subjective level. Again, I will be making a video on Psychological Types in the near future so stay tuned for that.

As far as it appearing that I was agreeing with you, in a way I am, but not in the way in which you explained it. I am willing to confess, that the current global, political situation right now is one of external movements, usually harsh in nature, and we are not really hearing about the peaceful movements. That is not to say, that the peaceful, non-violent philosophies are outdated, but rather as I said with the "swinging", at this current moment, the external/harsher style is popular, but that could very well change in the near future. Also, never forget that regardless of huge social movements there will always be those who, because of their personality, view the world and how to progress it for social justice, in a way that runs counter to the current trending majority. How humans express themselves on a social level is always changing and will change again.

Thank you for the Ramadan Mubarak, much appreciated. I am not sure what your religious background, if any, you have for yourself, but I hope you are doing good and whatever inspires you, I hope it continues to do so. Sorry if I overlooked anything, you did a great job in presenting your response, and I don't feel I have done it justice with this response. Look forward to seeing your response on Youtube, or wherever you decide to post it.
Peace
