WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Watch the youtube video or listen to my full length podcast:
The USA shootings- round and round we go:
The nightmare merry-go-round which no one seems willing or able to switch off, whilst parents scream get our children off and don’t put any more on. But like some terrifying déjà vu, it carries on turning and the eerie music is all too familiar to us all as we have heard it before.
In my view standing around and doing nothing and not speaking up is way up there on the spectrum of injustice or on the violence bystander spectrum.
So, do you believe in good and evil? The honest answer is I don’t know. I do however recognise the ‘human flaw of indifference’ and the damage this can do.
The Six Stages Framework offers a language to talk about violent acts and about the negative dimensions of the Six Stages where people spiral out of control into bad, and destructive behaviours culminating at stage -6 which some may refer to as extreme and violent behaviours. And some may even go as far as to call behaviours at stage -6 evil.
As more and more evidence comes to light about the tragic events in Uvalde it is even more clear that many questions remain and everyone is screaming “STOP”, “NO MORE INACTION” “STOP THIS NIGHTMARE MERRY-GO-ROUND” and “WE NEED TO DO BETTER”.
Our children and ALL Children deserve better, ALL Children’s lives matter All Children deserve to be protected and not left asking (as one survivor did, when she found out that the police had been outside for an hour before coming into the school) WHY DID THEY NOT COME IN TO SAVE US?
MESSAGE OF HOPE:
Having written and posted this blog, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it.
So ask me again do I believe in good and evil?
If there is evil, I belief in the power of good to triumph over evil. And this begins by small every day acts that each of us can make, starting with casting away indifference and caring about our fellow human beings. We can show this by speaking out and pressing for change even if we are not immediately affected and we are not the ones suffering. By showing compassion for everyone even those that are different from us, those in our neighbourhoods and those who are in communities thousands of miles away.

If Racism was a Virus... Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Six Stages Diversity Framework by Dr Shungu H. M'gadzah
Each episode will feature Dr. Shungu H. M’gadzah, Psychologist and Antiracism Expert and Raphael D. Aboyeji, biologist.
The podcast is produced by Gari Gono, producer of No Brown in Town.
Podcast Episode 1: Understanding How Racism is like a Virus
This podcast explores the concept If Racism was a virus and is based on an article by Dr Shungu H. M’gadzah.
It reflects and links to the key principles of Dr Shungu’s book Understanding and Dealing with Everyday Racism- The Six Stages Framework.
In this episode Dr Shungu, Gari and Raphael consider the following:
- Introducing the concept of the racism virus as outlined in Dr Shungu’s article
- Explore what viruses are and how this links to The Six Stages Framework
- The analogy has greater utility when we focus on human biases and discriminations
- Understanding biases and prejudices and how racist views are spread.
- Expand on the analogy of racism as a virus and how it can spread silently throughout communities
- Epidemic vs pandemic vs endemic and the means of transmission of viruses
- Asymptomatic racism, low key racist language and why we should worry about this.
- What causes the racism baseline to vary? And what are the dangers if the baseline lowers? (Six Stages and biological baseline)
- Consider what we learnt from the COVID 19 virus, diseases of the brain vs the mind
- What antigens are and how these markers can fit into the analogy
- The Six Stages Framework as a psychological tool for mapping the development of the racism virus and antigens- its signs and symptoms
