How did you emotionally respond to this video?
How do you feel about the assertion that it is the obligation of the people who benefit from the system of oppression to dismantle it?
Look at your collection of movies or books. How many of those stories center on non-white characters? How many of your books were written by non-white authors? How many of your movies were directed by non-white directors?
How is God inviting you to respond?
Prayer
Most high God, you urge us to advocate for justice for the widowed and the orphaned. For our contemporary times, one form of oppression is against people of color through white privilege. Open our eyes to the impact racism has on the widowed and the orphaned...the African American woman brutalized by police...the Mexican American student being told derisively to go back to Mexico. Use us to face white privilege and dismantle racism. Amen.
