i was at a wedding saturday night. we were somewhere in between cake cutting and the father daughter dance when i looked down at my phone and slid right to look at the most recent news headlines. why is it commonplace in 2017 to see so much hate, bigotry, and racism in news headlines?
i listened to a podcast from the liturgists a few weeks ago, one about feminism and one about racism in america. i've been meaning to re listen to the episode about racism in america. it still exists, even though sometimes we might feel as if we're past that, as a country. just because we had Obama in office does not mean we, as a whole, are past having prejudice against another person because of something as simple as the color of skin they were born with. i am simply echoing what everyone has been saying for the past couple of days about the incidents in charlottesville, we need more love. hate has no place in america, and we can be representatives of love on a daily basis.
