Racism and Me
Jun. 4th, 2020 01:42 pmRecently the boss of a nonprofit I work for made a post, worried about looting and rioting, and asked that people involved in that please leave the group because we're under scrutiny and that kind of publicity would be really bad. He could have phrased it far better than he did, but he tends to be impulsive and to regret at lesiure. We lost at least three volunteers, and once things cooled down I got to do a Racism 101 lecture on the mobile phone communications app that we use. Nobody shouted me down, and I got at least a little support, and I hope I helped. I can't push too hard, though, because rules are that the app is for talking about work, and not politics or socializing or TV or whatever. I'm sorry I can't march, because social distancing, but at least I got the chance to do *something*.
