Mary Ann, if you have a minute?
We seem to be in a 'school for empathetic understanding' and the humility that comes from no longer 'othering' the experience along with the people in the experience. 
What happens when white privilege no longer insulates people from what they could walk away from as a 'volunteer'? 
What happens when there is no going back to how things were 24 hours ago?
What happens when the difference between denial and hope smacks us in the heart and we stop chanting if we all believe Tinker Bell will live? Changing hearts not just selling a change of mind.
Is Ferguson, 9/11, the grassy knoll, Kent State, Detroit, Katrina, Harvey, Irma....
the naming of the burning bush moment, the epiphany, when hearts begin to change.  Does God pick which moment compels you to take off your shoes to stand on holy ground and listen... you --I see you bare foot and listening.


PS Re new post.. Using white privilege makes it harder to hide, using white supremacy makes it easier.
