A group of young men, many Black, gathered in Arrowhead Stadium locked arms and shared a message of ending racism...
17,000 mainly white @nfl fans responded with Boos...
They literally booed messages of ending racism...
@hollyhoneychurch W.E.B. Du Bois talked about the “psychic wages” of Jim Crow. “You may be downtrodden, you may be suffering, but at least you’re not a {slur}.”
BLM is asking white people to give up the psychic wage of systematic racism. It feels like something that has always been theirs is being torn away. //@jgmac1106
@Bruce 😿 that’s why I loved working in kindergarten. Before they become grownups. Because they’re all so pure and non judgemental.
@hollyhoneychurch I don’t know about kids being pure and non judgmental (I certainly wasn’t an easy child), but they definitely haven’t absorbed too much of society’s prejudices yet. (Though I believe infants start picking up on gender around 5 months so gender norms start being internalized before children have a sense of their own gender).
