    Default Daily Bread fresh baked every day: Topics to share and discuss

    Sharing daily topics from publications. Use links to the cited source. We will comment for a max of 24 hrs. than we move on to the next share. That's the basic premise.

    I'll start: Opinion | I’m a Black Feminist. I Think Call-Out Culture Is Toxic. - The New York Times

    What caught my ear were a few things Loretta Ross wrote. First was her admirable history working directly with people whom she considered toxic. Her abilities, approaches were so credible that folks seek her out to instill new light on their own cultural identities which very well off from her own. She quotes Shaw “Never wrestle with a pig,” as George Bernard Shaw said. “You both get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.” This might intimate you should dismiss opinions which differ from your own. Not really, Ross's approach is to stay calm, establish some way to relate, listen and establish grounds for sharing yours and their life experiences. Outrage really does not work and neither do ignorance.
