Food for thought

I have been doing these short, easy-to-digest "Food for thought" quotes, but I have been posting them only on Facebook and Instagram. For some reason, I have not been posting them here.

So, here they all are.



Food for thought: If you fancy yourself "pro-Israeli," and you're defending its behavior, you are precisely anti-Israeli.

Food for thought: It’s okay to speak in defense of brown people. It doesn’t hurt or cause cancer. You’ll be fine.

Food for thought: Can we just call "critical race theory" history instead?

Food for thought:
Liberalism is a centrist philosophy.
You are quite likely a liberal.
Most Americans are.

Black Lives Matter does not mean Black lives matter more.
It just means Black lives have value.
And White lives mattering more for 250 years? I don't hear "All lives matter" in response to that.

Food for thought:
When you badmouth politicians, they cannot hear you. When you support good policy, they do.

Food for thought:
So, I guess "conservative"/Republican now means you want this to be a White, Christian, heterosexual nation. Hmm ... I wonder if there's any historical precedent for that mentality?

Food for thought:
The claim “most people are [insert negative thing]” is nonsense. Most people are generally good.
When folks make the “people are bad” proclamation, they are flattering themselves. That is all.

Food for thought:
The most art (fine, music, film, literature, etc.) can do is provide insight, inspiration, and therapy. That’s it. It has no moral value. It’s mostly playtime.

Food for thought:
If one is not defending the underdog and one is not speaking in support of the vulnerable, then one is siding with power. And why is that exactly?
