White people are not more likely to die at the hands of police
I keep seeing many white people posting things like “more white people have been killed by police than black people”. In saying so, they seem to assume that they have magically dismantled the whole reason why #BlackLivesMatter exists. Of course it does no such thing. While that simple fact is true, clearly people are not taking any time to think about basic demographic proportions in the United States when making their statements.
The time for justice is now: November 12, 2014 at Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C. at 12:30 p.m
Brothers and Sisters, the time for justice and truth to break loose in our society has always been right now.

We had an excellent conversation on Race, Racism, Injustice, Reconciliation, and how following Jesus should make a difference in a racialized society, while specifically considering how Anabaptist communities have been wrestling with these issues in North America.

A Selection from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Poem “Who Am I?” – written in 1944 while in prison
Who am I? This man or that other? Am I then this man today and tomorrow another? Am I both all at once? An imposter to others, but to me little more than a whining, despicable weakling? Does what is in me compare to a vanquished army, that flees in disorder before a battle alreadyContinue reading “A Selection from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Poem “Who Am I?” – written in 1944 while in prison”
