I Believe… [You Are Not Your Credit Score]

...that if you choose to use public shaming to accomplish what you see as forward progress to your cause, you must accept the consequences of both being sued for it in a court of law and concomitantly being shamed yourself.

...that given the very concept of white privilege was coined by an academic elite with family wealth in the millions, it is likely that it comfortably avoids the vast majority of whites without those societal means.

...that if you judge your own success by your credit score, I’d like to point out there is a Kool-Aid stain on your shirt.

...that conflating Jewish people with Israeli policy is the same sort of reductive thinking that labels all Muslims as Terrorist, all Black men as Criminals, and all White People as Racist. The With Me or Against Me mentality is the vicious thinking of myopia.

...that it doesn’t feel as much like home until you’ve flown to another city and flown back. Something about flying back into a city you’ve chosen to call home that solidifies the title.
