1/ In processing my own Whiteness and the Whiteness I share with colleagues and students, I found these comments by Austin Channing Brown @austinchanning to be spot-on:
2/ "...white people who believe they are safe often prove dangerous when that identity is challenged." (I'm Still Here, p. 101) #truth#whiteness
3/ "When white people stop short of reconciliation, it's often because they are motivated by a deep need to believe in their own goodness, and for that goodness to be affirmed over and over and over again." (I'm Still Here, p. 171) #truth#whiteness
4/ Sisters, brothers, we have a lot of soul-work to do.
Lord, have mercy.
