Robbie, thank you for this. I just got up after a long flight from JAX to PDX yesterday after leaving St. Simon’s Island. Your thoughtful post on Martin Luther King, Jr., is just a continuation of the overwhelming passion and hope I came home with from Southern Lights. It seems to me that we have done to MLK what we have done to Jesus. It’s all about LOVE, but forgetting the radical and political Jesus that is actually exposed in the Bible. We can talk about love without having to make any changes in our own personal environment. If we talk about and seek to do justice, then we actually have to look at who we are and how our personal lives affects what we SAY we want to accomplish. That is when the rubber meets the road. Thank you for your contribution this past weekend.
Juxtaposed also, but glad for your amplification of black voices. We have enough rich white voices from South Arica censoring those voices, that they are going to need white allies.
I just did a search on Rich people from South Africa and Elon Musk did not come up on google's search...even though he was born in South Africa
The Internet has been "white too long" and it is only going to get worse...
