you have to remove yourself from the fear or discomfort of associating with certain groups or issues you’ve been taught to ignore. I know Black people who don’t care about immigrants, men who don’t care about women, and straight people who don’t care about gay people. Why are we like this? Why don’t we care? Maybe we are so divided by tribe that we’re taught that caring for someone outside our assigned category is the ultimate sin, yet I would argue that it’s the ultimate expression of being part of the human family.
