The title of this could obviously be, how to have less frustrating conversations with your white friends about race. But he was probably wise to make the adjustment. This guy is a role model. Anyway, we should…
reconsider how we conceptualize being a good person and keep in mind that we are not good despite our imperfections, it is the connection we maintain with our imperfections that allows us to be good. our connection with our personal and common imperfections, being mindful of those personal and common imperfections is what allows to be good to each other and be good to ourselves. so…[word].
I know that this is no easy task and race be the most difficult sphere in which to apply this concept but I think its where we can reap the most reward. so I hope that bit by bit, if we consider that and are mindful of it, we can shift away from taking it as an indictment of our goodness and move toward taking it as a gesture of respect and an act of kindness when someone tell us we have something racist stuck in our teeth.
Here’s the video he refers to in the beginning. Spread the love folks:
