Ugly White Privilege

Racism.

Its wrong.

But it happens.

And many white people are ignorant of it...most due to choice.

Are we going to pursue chosen ignorance because of our "white privilege"?

When will the church more collectively take a visible stand for social justice?

Or are we going to sit on our bottoms and let ugly racist things in our everyday life pass by and pretend we are ignorant by looking the other way?

When will the topic of racism be dealt with in a rational not emotional way?

Is middle and upper class white society doomed to a cycle of denial and ignorance of hate? both domestically and internationally?

When will we say enough is enough and care enough to act like a well informed caring church and society?
