"expressed out loud and in the wrong way"

So here is where you, too, swim in the judgment lane, Thomas. Wendy doesn't know anything about the killers. Wendy doesn't know anything about the restaurant employee.

What Wendy knows is that she sees all Black people as deserving of her pity.

We do all have opinions and Wendy's is racist.

That is something she's made clear time and time again.

My writing is not to try to change Wendy Bell into something she's not, but to start conversations about racism, because when we are quiet about it, it festers and grows. We no longer have the luxury of remaining quiet, like we once did about that occasionally racist uncle, or sometimes bigoted elder cousin. Today, it is ever-increasingly important for us to be not just not racist, but Anti-Racist. As Ibram X. Kendi suggests, being not racist is no longer enough. So writing for large audiences about how wrong Wendy is - that's part of my Anti-Racism.
