Today's lesson, Racism. If you see something written here that you’ve said or done, use it as an opportunity. Take it as a wake up call and make the decision to grow, change and be conscious of your own privilege. Remember, I am not a speaker for the entirety of a people.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’ve been following this thread for a day or so now. I was really on the fence about how I personally felt about this issue. Yes, there is a clear right and wrong. But I grew up in a predominately wealthy, white school district, and then I went to a predominately wealthy, white college, where a lot of people have dreads. I would sometimes snicker at how strange it looked, but I never, ever thought about their cultural appropriation. I get it now.
But my culture is all about stealing things from other people’s culture that I think are purty! You should be grateful...
