Part of me believes that yes, I don't understand the distrust of African-Americans towards law enforcement. Young African-American men get extra scrutiny from police, and that's not fair. Another part of me says it's not my fault, and I hate being put on the defense because of my race. I'm ot a "white privilege denier." I'm just a guy living my life. It's easier for me, but the answer is not to make it less easy for me. Rather, we should find the pathway to that place where everyone gets treated right--as unique individuals. In any case, this author says I need to be quieter and listen more: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rebeccaflorencemiller/2014/11/ferguson/

I get it. I really do. Academics are sometimes so good at what they know--so focused, that they miss the optics they might create for us less enlightened ones. So...a Washington State community college employee organization, purposed to advance the condition of people of color, decides to have a discussion on improving race relations. Implicit in the email invite is that Whites are not welcome. On the upside, there must have been pushback, because an apology was issued the next day, and the event was canceled. On the downside, one of the key players doubled down, saying that the meeting would have allowed for a more honest and productive discussion than could be had "with a lot of people." http://www.king5.com/story/local/2014/11/26/13402800/

OK, so I wasn't exactly sure what section to post this in, but I suppose general will do. So I've haven't gone to the temple yet(I'm a recent convert to the Church) and I was planning on going to it for the first time on my wards next temple trip! The temple we go to doesn't have temple clothing available to rent. I was wondering what was suitable for a girl to wear to temple. I know it has to be white, but are there any stipulations on it. Thanks for all your help!!
