C2C Unconscious Intolerance To Unconscious Tolerance with Hugh Vasquez

We live in a world where rights, access, and privileges are awarded to some while denied to others. Neither the award nor the denial of these privileges is based upon one’s merit, but instead an elaborate system that pays
special attention to race, gender, class, etc. Although this system was established long before anyone now living was born, we are all taught/conditioned to perpetuate it. Changing this system demands an awakening process for each and every individual. Changing the system so that privileges and access are awarded to everyone despite the color of one’s skin, gender, or socio-economic status will only come about when individuals move from being unconscious to the conditions and become competent to transform them.
