It’s a daily struggle between wanting to provide some middle ground, some insight, some sense of belonging and community, a call for galvanizing Texas voices and wanting to just give up. We are tired of the culture wars and the hate. It’s just exhausting.
We spent some time listening to others tonight but sometimes people are so far gone. You treat them with respect, try to explain issues, you are kind and they start out okay but then spiral into racist hate so quickly. We are seeing two major trends right now in regards to racism
1) Not all Latinos are Illegal or undocumented. Latinos are every shade, color, accent, religion. So be aware that dehumanizing latinos endangers latinos. It heightens the temperature and creates unsafe situations. Like Lady from KY who killed latino Uber driver in El Paso.
2) Not all Muslims are Palestinians and not all Palestinians are members of Hamas. SERIOUSLY. We are seeing some really awful posts where people are lumping them all together in the same group and this too is creating an unsafe situation for many innocent people.
Wishing you all a peaceful night no matter where you love, who you love, what books you read, the color of your skin, your religion, your music, or you are or if you are rooting for the Astros or the Rangers. Tonight, put out good peaceful energy.
