Judging is part of the human condition. Depending on our background, everyone has biases. Most of us try to eradicate them. We certainly don't act on our biases. When one of us does, it is called a hate crime.
One of my town's writing community, jamele adams, has been a victim of a hate crime. Jamele is the director of diversity, equity and inclusion, for the town of Scituate. A makeshift tombstone with jamele's name on it, was found on a beach in Scituate.
This is just crazy. Jamele's motto is e “always we, never me” . Why would a town employee cause someone to do this, especially one whose job is to spread love? As I said, everyone has prejudice to one degree or another, but to act on it? That takes a higher degree of prejudice than is normal.
We're supporting jamele.
