I'm also religious and I've thought about those connections before, and I appreciated that he highlighted that]]> 2020-09-08 15:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727589561 jdzerkacz https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727594210 "Anti-racist ideas remain difficult to understand, in part because they go against the flow of this country's history."

Many people are still having a hard time comprehending that a policy or system is racist. I hear many excuses for inequitable outcomes like "outcomes depend on personal choices".]]> 2020-09-08 15:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727594210 https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727595627 The higher thinking that was done in this article really made me reflect on how, nearly every aspect of our lives could be questioned on whether or not our thoughts and the way we approach situations are racist or anti-racist, starting with Christianity and this idea of a white Jesus.

Over the summer with the youth group I lead in my church we have been diving deeper into antiracism and what that looks like in our church and what God has called us to be. Honestly so often my faith has been separated from my "secular'" world I found it inspiring that he started with this in his book. ]]> 2020-09-08 15:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727603463 nshiggsquiroga https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727605054 That my experience growing up with parents who expressed the idea that nothing was wrong with being black but everywhere I turned I felt like I was made to feel like I was different in an inferior way as a black person,]]> 2020-09-08 15:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727605054 https://padlet.com/1278963/8uji02ff9j5k0xzn/wish/727607996 I was struck by the wording of the author.
