Doc, I love and appreciate your heart and your work!!!!!! You are one of God's angels in this world.
If I could add a couple of things to the conversation.....
1 - Though the commercial was cool....People who care about People of Color no longer want to hear ANYTHING from Snoop. His actions (getting paid by Trump for inauguration performance) don't match his words. He chose money over People, values, & virtue. Brady SEEMS to also support the hate that Trump spews.
2 - As a trained counselor/coach, attempting to get to the ROOT of issues is a focus. White supremacy/domination hate is fueled by GREED. Unless/until we address the unbridled greed that has led to enslavement, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, housing discrimination, race massacres, Trumpism, tax cuts & corporate welfare for the rich, kleptocracy, oppression of every kind, etc... we'll continue to put bandaids on the AmeriKKKan sinful & evil way of life.
I'm praying for repentance and repair. It's not looking good.
Though there are many GREAT books about what I'm adding to the conversation... this one has some helpful (but GREATLY disturbing) truths.... "The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money Is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward", by Malcolm Foley
Hate is not required for segregation, oppression, racism, sexism, misogyny, etc. I do believe that hate (definitions I've seen - to fail to love or wish to avoid) is intricately involved.

Thank you, Cresenda, for improving how I see the world. I just ordered the book. Thank you for the recommendation.
