I know I am supposed to be blogging about my personal stuff that I've been avoiding. But last night I read Vessel: The Gordon Sisters did not have 'a complicated past'. They were racist. I just can't let it go. I think I could fill a Bingo Card from this article.
"I won't say, 'They were racists!' " said the Rev. Melanie Morel-Ensminger, waving her arms in mock alarm.
I'm pretty sure that waving your arms in mock alarm qualifies as using air quotes, which is generally offensive in any discussion about race.
Racism 101: The "I'm (or in this case, they're) not racist... BUT" disclaimer is just code for "I'm about to say something racist."
