[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/12/only-the-rich-can-turn-their-phones-off-the-harsh-lesson-of-patrick-pichette.html]
This article points out some of the things that I’m becoming wary of with technology, but with an edge toward power and privilege that I haven’t considered.
An Open Letter to Franklin Graham
by Lisa Sharon Harper, Sojourners
[http://sojo.net/blogs/2015/03/19/open-letter-franklin-graham]
I’m not actively on Facebook anymore, but Graham’s post still made its way to me by other means. Harper (along with a host of others) penned this open, public response that I hope will be the start of (yet, another) conversation on race, power, privilege, bias, and perspective that can be constructive and productive. A conversation where people of color carry some legit weight in the conversation.
