3:243 – I’m Biased<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I wrote about the passing of Chadwick Boseman<\/a> and how we often equate value or greatness by the amount of coverage we get when we die or do something “great”. A friend commented and asked if I posted something similar when Carrie Fischer died. (I did some digging and found I posted an article about the importance of General Organa. Not the same though I did posted a few things during when she passed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure of her intent in asking the question but it has me spinning all day. Did she ask because Chadwick was African American and some people will say all people deserve the same recognize because of race? Was it because he deserved it because of the importance he brought to representation? I don’t know but it got me thinking, and I am sooo thankful for that. When I was researching if I posted something similar, I said did when Kobe Bryant passed away. I mentioned the other people on the helicopter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I realize this is another African American celebrity. Does this make me racist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I’m biased. One thing is I try to get better everyday. I can’t erase my biases though I can understand them and get better. If I’ve come across as racist or insensitive, I am sorry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you admit when you are wrong? What about not feeling wrong but being willing to learn and grow in your thinking and explanation to others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
