My brown son doesn't get the benefit of the doubt like my white son does.

"We are white, we are straight, we are married, we’re pastors, we’re upper-middle class, so we just had the luxury of not having to care."

"I’ve heard the phrase, 'God doesn’t see color' time and time again in conversations surrounding race..."

"Just because you’re uncomfortable talking about it, doesn’t mean it no longer exists. Accept it. Talk about it. Change it. And don’t get caught outside in a snowstorm."

I don’t know what difference I can make today to alleviate the suffering of others, or to shift the American system toward justice and equality. But I think the first steps, as a white man unfamiliar with deep generational suffering, is to apologize and repent.

“What matters most to us is the safety of our employees and customers. We continue to monitor the situation closely and will open the stores as soon as the situation is safe again.”

“Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here … get over it.”

"U got us all wrong! And we ain't going for it! Straight up!"
