A Thought from a student of White Prvilege and its effects on the Church and America...

Without revealing for whom I voted or whom I supported in the election, I use this space for the following:

On April 15, 1947 a Jewish family in the Bronx was celebrating the Passover. The youngest child at the table, playing his role to perfection, asked the patriarch of the family the same question every other family was asking that night, as they had for thousands of years: "What is different about this night?"

The father's response altered the script, but spoke words that revealed how much had changed on that night: "What is different about this night is that a Black man is playing baseball."







Tomorrow, children all over America will be asking: "What is different about this day?"
