Dismantling Whiteousness

(rhymes with Self-Righteousness) I celebrate how being in mutually vulnerable friendships with people of all colors has taught me a more balanced perspective on reality. I lament Anglo-America's aggressive fragility in regards to racial injustice, so I write and compile from a Jesus-following perspective of setting tables towards respect and relationship. This is not anti-white people, but anti-Whiteousness: against the concept that white ideals, ideas, and people are superior. (c) 2016-18

On the Road: Mari Yobp of Pittsburgh, PA #DismantlingWhiteousness

My sister-in-law reminds me of an important lesson: feelings of superiority are not a uniquely American problem. Japan struggles with this as well. We sat down for an extended interview to hear what it's been like adjusting to life in the US, and she ends with this very important message:

"Accepting differences does not mean you lose your personality."
