We the People... (Except Black People…)
A friend recently sent me a link to this article by George Conway in the Washington Post. To say I had a strong reaction is an understatement!
My Dear Friends and Family,
A friend recently sent me a link to this article by George Conway in the Washington Post. To say I had a strong reaction is an understatement! I couldn’t understand how reading a list of his bona fides insanity and ridiculousness could possibly be worth my time. Between the pandemic news of the day and the election news of the day, we are taking a battering.
After my reply to her that there was no payoff for me in reading it, I picked up and started reading Isabel’s Wilkerson’s latest book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
(You may recall my rave review of her book,The Warmth of Other Suns in a previous blog.)
Well, my friends I had to interrupt my reading at Chapter 2 to write to you...
WE ALL NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! It reveals the truth of how the monster made it this far and what we all did or didn’t do to contribute to our current painful reality. It is from this painful acknowledgement that the solution can be found.
And if I didn’t believe there was a solution to the absurd and terrifying situation we are in, then I’d go out without a mask, touch my face, never wash my hands, go to school in Georgia and buy a Harley so I can join the South Dakota Bike Rally.
So while I finish this book, I hope you’ll start it. Then, let’s tawk!
Love, Sally-Jane
P.S.
P.P.S. And finally, amidst all this confusion someone speaks how we can understand and come together...
