Black and white photo of my hands holding a rosary, with an altar, candles and a cross in the background. Text: Offline for Lent. See you after Easter (April 5)
Friends, may God journey with you through these Lenten weeks;
Love lead you through the valley of division and hate.
Light guide you amidst hopelessness and despair.
Peace lift you out of regret, shame and pain.
May the Risen One of Easter bless you with new hope, new joy and new life. 🙏🏼

I get that. And I also pointed out the parallels with LGBTQ characters.
And clearly I’m not advocating “I don’t want to see them at all”.
I just think that this isn’t really addressing “not seeing them at all” in as positive a way as we might think.

Like I just wonder if what we’re actually doing is saying “black people can be visible…just as long as it’s in ways that don’t make white people uncomfortable”, in the same way that gay and lesbian people were only visible if they could be this funny sidekick or the psycho killer

Yes I totally get that and thats why I wonder what the alternative might be.
Maybe we don’t just tell “white stories with black people in them” but more black and brown stories too.
Because black people weren’t “just slaves or servants” - but in much of European culture and history they were.

I remember seeing an interview done with Carrol O’Connor while playing Archie Bunker in “all in the family”, and the interviewer suggested Archie was quite a loveable and funny character. O’Connor insightfully pointed out that Archie’s racism was central to who he is and makes him quite miserable…

What more would you want to see the King do, that’s within his power to do?

Yeah. She was never going to make her life about “serving the Commonwealth”.

Not to mention the owner of the Dodgers has strong ties to ICE

Something she's concerned about has no specific "test" but is diagnosed through an elimination of every other possible issue. Hence all the testing...and the need for patience (which I am notoriously lax in!)
