“My scientist friends have come up with things like 'principles of uncertainty' and dark holes. They're willing to live inside imagined hypotheses and theories. but many religious folks insist on answers that are always true.

“It is imperative that white people self-educate. We can no longer go through the world blissfully unaware of our inherent racism, insisting all the while on our goodness. This is to our detriment and to the detriment of others. It is a lie. It is time for us to do the reading, engage the work, lean into the hard conversations, stay in the room, and force our imaginations to think bigger, better things.”
