There’s this line from Moneyball: "The first one through the wall always gets bloody...". Exactly right. So not at all surprised to see these scared, fragile, jealous, intimidated, haters using every weapon in their arsenal against Sen. Harris right now.
But those shrieking panicking insurrectionists aren’t the wall she’s breaking through. The wall always represents the last barrier for the old way—of thinking, of doing, of being. The one who breaks through is a LEADER.
This leader, by breaking through, while shedding figurative and sometimes literal blood, is the proof that the old metric no longer applies. Yes, women can. And will. Yes, Black people can. And will. Yes, Black women can. And will. They will proceed and succeed anyway.

The thing I think maybe some do not consider, take account of, make space for is the pain. The pain we feel when we experience racism. Not only the racism against us individually. But the racism unleashed against our brothers and sisters. Because that is what they are. Family.
In my spirit today (real churchy—forgive me), what’s popping up is #kinsmanredeemer . In the Bible, kinsman-redeemer is a male relative who, according to laws of the Pentateuch, had the privilege/responsibility to act on behalf of a relative who was in trouble, danger, or need.
The Hebrew term (go el) for kinsman-redeemer designates one who delivers or rescues (Genesis 48:16; Exodus 6:6) or redeems property or person (Leviticus 27:9–25, 25:47–55). The kinsman who redeems or vindicates a relative is illustrated most clearly in the book of Ruth with Boaz.

One of the reasons racism is persistent is because most racists would swear on their engraved bibles that they’re the least racist person you’ll ever meet. This racist loves everyone with the love of the Lord. Greets everyone with Jesus joy. Has been philanthropic for decades.
This is not your hood-wearing, cross burning racist. They would find such vulgarity appalling. Wouldn’t be caught alive or dead fraternizing with a klansman, or a nazi enthusiast or a member of the aryan brotherhood or a professed white supremacist or white nationalist.
This racist would be aghast, clutch pearls at even the inference of an association with such unsavory disreputable people and organizations. And their giving will reflect the wholesome values they are certain they possess. The first to buy a table at whichever luncheon or gala.
