Why Anti-Racism Efforts Fail
Unitarian Universalists work around the world to fight racism, but our recent efforts have fallen flat. A UUA president resigned over it, careers have been broken, and congregations have been discarded over arguments about how to fight racism. It is one of the hottest topics in our denomination that everyone, and no one wants to talk about. Some people were so disgusted with our poor leadership on anti-racism efforts, that they have left us altogether. So the question naturally arises; how do we move from giving shaming, ineffective lectures, to providing truly life-altering experiences that can end racism?
