1. Would love to see it become the norm that when someone is doing something out of ignorance, they're given an opportunity to have dinner with the people from the community they’re ignorant about, hear why what they’ve done is hurtful, go to a museum, and have a chance to grow.
2. We’ve all been ignorant about something, although in years past, most of us were not able to broadcast that ignorance to millions of people online. Some of us have since learned either on our own or with the help of people we’ve met what we’re ignorant about. Some not.
3. But if we don’t give grace to others who don’t understand why their actions are hurtful, we shouldn’t expect it in return. Might as well stone everyone now. (H/t to @CathyYoung63 for introducing me to this Life of Brian clip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Pyt…)

"It takes courage to hold fast to the belief that all people are innocent before being proven guilty, to show empathy for those you see as evil, to resist the temptation to celebrate over your enemy’s demise.”
