Narrative:
MASKS!: Were at a dentist office today that one office person did not wear a mask across her mouth. (She said that we wouldn’t be able to hear her with her mask on.) The company policy is that everyone wears a mask! She came out to the car to deliver some forms with the mask pulled down to her chin (Below her mouth). Now we are breathing her exhale in a small space! She pulled up the mask after balking and we had no trouble hearing her through the thin mask she was wearing. (Not even a cloth mask.)
White Fragility: I am sincerely afraid of engaging in a conversation with most of my fellow parishioners of color. We were warned during a church service by a woman of color weeks ago that a white person would not be able to console a person of color. We’ve tried engaging them when they’ve posted vulgar hate videos online to which they responded with “We’re raising awareness”. I am sure that every person in America knows about BLM by now. Any “Raising Awareness” at this point is holding a mob of white college student’s knee on white leadership’s necks until they give in to the BLM organization’s demands. My feeling is that we now have a church of Black Christians that have not forgiven the sins of others who have hurt them. Before George Floyd we were a united church of Christians that were of many colors. Open conversations about our walk in Christ last year was easy and without any risk of offending each other.
