“As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash”
Harper Lee

 

“I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm so receptive, others not so much...

Great to be receptive. Keep setting that great example! The others will take care of themselves.

Apropos of the Roseanne fiasco of the past 24 hours, and her "I was Ambien-Tweeting" defense: Sanofi, the maker of Ambien, Tweeted back this morning: "People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

Skin color, gender, religion, etc. are identity differentiators that shouldn’t matter. Maybe, hopefully, one day they won’t. Character, integrity, commitment, respect, achievement, compassion - wouldn’t it be something if all were evaluated on values such as these? #goals
(We just watched the movie Hostiles last night. Interesting in light of this post.)

I do believe we’re getting better all the stuff coming to light it’s just stuff that was hidden before, so I still have huge amounts of hope and love .

Hate and bigotry require a constant vigilance against it. It never dissipates just goes into hiding.
