3.5 years ago I was working in a village in Dorset. I had a heated disagreement with a Christian leader about racism & privilege. This afternoon, he called me and apologized and repented for being blind. It's not about being right or wrong but being faithful to the spirit.

Why every time Black folk are beaten/abused people feel the need to talk about all the “good” they have done. Our worth is not conditional on our actions. When people say such things we hear, “but he is a GOOD NEGRO.” We are made in the image of God.
