@YNPierce I would even say *conciliation. I can't think of a time we were all in together.

@MyNameSauce Absolutely. Reconciliation is not a term I use. Can't return to a place that never existed.

@YNPierce And, it's easier for us to say racism is systemic, while avoiding the hard work of looking inward. Thanks for calling it...

@YNPierce @dstarwriter59 Personal observations: 1) many are overtly racist but truly don't see it 2) people want *order and agreement* not to do the hard work

@YNPierce @craftyblah Black Christians also have some soul searching to do. Prosperity gospel and liberation theology are non-biblical doctrines that must cease!

@YNPierce This is why reconciliation isn't sufficient. Racial forgiveness is more like it.

@YNPierce @crazypastor Old white guy here. I've tried some of the 'naming' in my family; defensive responses are fast and furious. We're still generations away
