Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sacrosanct" data-source="post: 8010216" data-attributes="member: 15700">[USER=1]@Morrus[/USER], I hope this is OK and I don't mean to hijack your thread, but it seems this is an opportunity for a teaching moment here.  For the past decade or so, I've given workplace presentations on diversity and privilege, and I've found that once people start learning the background, history, and aspects of this topic, it helps create inclusion and a better understanding of why things like BLM came about and are important.  I pulled up my most recent and up to date reference list that I used to create my presentations, and while it encompasses more than just race relations, there is some really good reading here for those who might be mistaken in their assumptions and biases (we all have biases and mistakes in our assumptions; not just picking on one group).ACLU (2020).
