I lost over 100 followers this week standing up for WOC being attacked by white women.
I'm sorry to have lost them because it means those folks missed the point.
White people have an obligation to POC in America because of the damage #racism inflicts even if we aren't #racist.

The hardest words in any language are "I'm sorry."
Acknowledging our flaws goes against ego.
But it's essential.
I know I am a strong person with strong Socialist politics.
I know I can be intense.
But I am a fiundamentally kind person who doesn't want to hurt people.

At times I know I <have> hurt people--we all have.
And that is my point: If people tell you you have hurt them, listen.
I don't mean casual snark, but hurt.
Listen.
Say you are sorry.
Repentance is under-utilized and under-valued, and that's not just my Catholicism talking.

IMO: we need MUCH TOUGHER laws on illegal-drug financing, manufacturing & whole-sale level distribution along with RICO enforcement. Retail level distribution & use consequences MUST BE DEFINITIVE and EQUITABLE in application across US.

DEFINITIVE and EQUITABLE means that you can not throw the poor, the black, & other minorities in JAIL and the rich-white-kid gets help thanks to lawyers & parents.
Statistics suggest Lady Justice is NOT blind; that's a problem.

Trump spent last night phoning allies and friends, asking them how they thought the “shithole” remark was playing out in the press.

3) Silence is complicity, and Republican leaders are silent on Trump's racist 'shithole' comments dailykos.com/story/2018/1/1…
