Beliefs

"The problem is that under examined beliefs often sound right because they've been arrived at based on personal preference rather than critical investigation.  If kids have under examined Christian beliefs, they can easily be swayed."

Natasha Crain

I'd certainly suggest that this applies equally, if not more so to adults.  In adults in addition to under examination, you also add the fact that these beliefs might have been held for a long time.   This makes them that much harder to examine.

"The loss of objectivity in moral thought does not lead to liberation.  It leads to oppression.  Secular ideologies preach liberty, but they practice tyranny.

The philosophy behind "White Fragility" is a destructive one.  Black people read it & assume all white people-even thrie friends-think they're less-than.  White people read it & assume all black people think they're racist.  Does that sound like a recipe for "racial reconciliation"?
