More Courageous Conversations about Race Quotes

“has”
― Glenn E. Singleton, More Courageous Conversations About Race

“These incidents point to the pain and sensitivity of the American racial situation for children, parents, thought leaders, and policymakers. But why not let bygones be bygones? Why not just move to higher social and moral ground without wading through the muck, mire, and pain of past and even present transgressions? The reason is that race is not the underlying and central problem. As real, omnipresent, pervasive, and destructive as the issue has been and continues to be, it obscures the real problem: that critical flaw in human nature or the very frequent tendency of the privileged to exploit the vulnerable less privileged. Without understanding the complex ways race obscures this underlying and generative problem, we cannot adequately address it.”
