Color Blind
Part of the things that I am thinking about is racism — especially how the concepts of race and justice go together.
I’m thinking about this because at this time in the history of our country, racism is a subject that we are struggling to deal with.
This struggle is brought to light by current social events that seem always to be reported with some hint of racism. Phrases like “white policeman” and “black criminal” as well as “Indian immigrant” and “white privilege” are phrases that you hear as part of just about every news story on television and radio. I hear phrases like “my Indian friend” or “black friends”. This makes me uncomfortable. I think that phrases and reporting like this sometimes makes a bad situation worse.
