DO “Black Lives Matter?” A reprise
TRIGGER WARNING: (As if you weren’t already warned in the title of the post.) If you thought the arrest of the two men who lynched Ahmaud Arbery was enough… the end… then you need to stop RIGHT HERE and move on to other things. My lament continues. There are things to still talk about. Things we, as whites, need to…

Why we must persist concerning injustice — Ahmaud Arbery
FAIR WARNING DISCLAIMER: I am not done in the process of lament concerning the lynching of Ahmaud Arbery. I am FAR from done as to action that needs to be taken when it comes to our utter blindness over racism in our country. You’ve been warned.

Injustice in the time of coronavirus
A couple of days in lament isn’t going to cool me off when it comes to injustice. SOOOO… here is your warning. I will keep going on matters of racism and injustice for a bit. It is out of lament. It is out of a deep hunger to get our souls bared before the Righteous Judge… and maybe get us…

The immorality of our nation
“Millions of Americans are coming to see that we are fighting an immoral war that costs nearly thirty billion dollars a year, that we are perpetuating racism, that we are tolerating almost forty million poor during an overflowing of material abundance. Yet they remain helpless to end the war, to feed the hungry, to make brotherhood a reality; this has…

The work still to be done
“And I submit that nothing will be done until people of good will put their bodies and their souls in motion. And it will be the kind of soul force brought into being as a result of this confrontation that I believe will make the difference. Yes, it will be a poor people’s campaign. This is is the question facing…
