Sometimes I feel shame for existing in white spaces. I've had POC make comments about how my community (Raising Children Unfundamentalist on FB) is mostly white, and it is, but somehow I feel I'm to blame for this.
...like I don't make enough space for POC, or because I've simply assimilated too much. It kinda sucks that I've been colonized as a missionary convert, had to assimilate to survive/gain a platform, and then feel shamed for it.
I find a lot of camaraderie with the #Exvangelical community #onhere, led by @C_Stroop and @brchastain & many others, but it is mostly white. I share this sociocultural heritage with all these white ppl because white missionaries CONVERTED ME AS A CHILD
