If you get defensive when someone explains white privilege to you, then you suffer from not knowing enough yet. There’s no shame in that, but there is a lot of shame in denying the oppression of black people in order to serve whites better in this country.
Being who you are shouldn’t be a fireable offense, and today the Supreme Court has affirmed that truth for the LGBTQ community under our laws.
It’s a victory for liberty and justice for all.
Happy Pride.
My heart goes out to Paris. Notre Dame is a symbol of our ability as human beings to unite for a higher purpose—to build breathtaking spaces for worship that no one person could have built on their own. I wish France strength and shared purpose as they grieve and rebuild.
