I shared the Pyramid with a group of 6 white men; one demanded an apology for fostering critical race theory; politics had no place in religion or prayer. Wow, it was part of my week #1 SDI sharing in one of the groups that I thought were solid in study, piety (prayer) and action. The demand, don't ever share that stuff again. Sigh! The response was from an under 50 person, the older guys had no response. Please speak to age, being in the "real" world by those under 50 we might walk with. This not only speaks to white privilage but deference to male patrimony still with us. 10:00:21 From Gladyce Janky : Another book resource that deals with red lining: The Color of Law: A forgotten History by Richard Rothstein 10:01:25 From Martha Doran : Thanks for sharing this Kevin…brave of you to go forward in this group 10:01:43 From Lisa Sadleir-Hart : Yes, thank you Kevin…we have much work to do 10:19:02 From Anna Singh Deo : Extremely Rich & Meaningful…Thank you🙏🏼 10:19:03 From Beth Tapley : I notice that Jane didn’t start by introducing us to the pyramid.

This is a good change. 10:26:00 From Melissa (she/her) Vander Plaats : The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is a powerful resource on the 13th Amendment. and the Film "the 13th" made that is based on Alexander's book. 10:26:05 From Annette Schmeling (she/her) : The Whitney Plantation Historic District (Wallace, Louisiana) is a museum devoted to slavery in the Southern United States. 10:26:36 From Kathleen Ellis, Austin, TX : The Whitney is excellent, not far west of NOLA 10:26:56 From Lynne Lew : “Slavery By Another Name” a documentary video on convict leasing—truly horrifying but incredibly informative and vital information and well done. 10:27:02 From lynn w huber : The state of Colorado passed an amendment to the state constitution so we do not permit “forced work” (though if opps are turned down, there’s a financial cost to prisoners, so freedom here is a matter of interpretation. 10:28:52 From Sharon Bennett : Lord Have Mercy.. 10:28:58 From Lisa Sadleir-Hart : Indeed 10:29:01 From Myriam Klotz : ‘Stone Ghosts in the South: America’s Legacy of Heritage and Hate’, MSNBC documentary by Trymaine Lee 10:29:04 From Melissa (she/her) Vander Plaats : I've appreciated the language of slave holder (rather than implicitly acknowledging ownership) and enslaved persons (emphasizing humanity rather than state of slavery). 10:32:48 From Sharon Bennett : Tulsa Black Wall Street is only about 40 mins from where I am right now.. 10:33:48 From Pam Winthrop Lauer : I celebrated with a neighbor that the local school board election was won by people who are committed to equity. He replied, "yes, but not in our precinct. I was in line (to vote) yesterday for 20 minutes. All the talk around me was about "They don't say the pledge anymore" and "teaching kids to hate this country." 10:34:04 From Lynne Lew : White people fear that what they have done to blacks and POC will come back to them. 10:34:57 From jeanine boucher-colbert : ..so much unlearning, re-learning, learning to do 10:35:10 From Robert : Inner turmoil is the gut feeling I have now. 10:35:15 From Kathleen Ellis, Austin, TX : It’s hard to breathe 10:35:31 From Sharon Bennett : Lament...sadness.. 10:35:51 From Joan Peyser : my heart breaks for so much untruth being spoken anywhere, anyplace! 10:35:54 From Ann Hatton : Overwhelmed, sad 10:36:08 From jeanine boucher-colbert : rage and grief 10:36:12 From Lavera : feel sad and angry 10:36:47 From Karen Linser : Disillusionmnent 10:36:47 From Beth Tapley : sadness, even shock at some things 10:36:48 From Ramona Harris : Will we be discussing Critical Race Theory during these class sessions?
