Narrative: I’ve learned lots of new terms over the last several days. One of those terms is “White Fragility”, which is when white people are confronted with the topic of racism they often respond defensively.
White Fragility: We have set on a course of becoming “Less White” so that we can better understand and converse with the people of color. When I read the book shown above I was apprehensive, then denial set in during the first chapter. After reading the entire book I feel I am rather naïve about racism and that I need to pay much more attention to how I say & what I say to people of color.
We still are trying to find our place in this Black Lives Matter movement. It is starting to feel like “Only Black Lives Matter” as they are devouring all the time and resources in all the Government bodies to appease them, leaving important matters that affect a larger population unfinished.
Feelings:
Tomorrow: Sunday, we may watch service in private.
