Somedays the only thing that keeps me half-way in Unitarian Universalism is Aretha Franklin singing gospel. anyway......
News came out yesterday that UUA officials who RESIGNED from their positions were given healthy (to say the least) severance packages.
WATCH WHITENESS WORK
Let's be clear about this...if you quit an position/job (elected or appointed) before your term is over and on your own volition, you FORFEIT any benefits you were set to receive. But that's obviously not true in the UUA.
For this to be done at a time of increasing budget stress for the UUA shows just how much whiteness works for the protection of its own.
I can't think about this anymore. The verdict in the Philando Castile case just came down. As I expected, Officer Yanez was found "not guilty". As usual, black life is shown to have no value in the U.S.
So while the UUA is giving out money to people who walked away from the controversy they created, black people are dying on videotape and nobody is held accountable.
WATCH WHITENESS WORK
Since I brought up Aretha Franklin, here she is singing "Mary, Don't You Weep"
