I'm a big Shonda Rhimes fan, having watched and rewatched countless Grey's Anatomy episodes. This season, both Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 are using primetime TV to allow us to watch some of the horror of what has been American life play out on screen. This week, Station 19 S4E12 caught my attention. It showed the complexities of people reacting to the George Floyd murder: the shock, the rage, the helplessness, the disbelief, the discomfort, the self-preservation, the complex mixture of any and all of those. I hope you'll watch it, there are many lessons to be gleaned.
This week, think about what you've been taught, what we are learning about what we were taught and then consider the difference between being a racist and hating; and propping up racially biased systems by not actively working to disrupt them.
Many of us desire to be inclusive. I hope most of us do not hate. But not hating is no longer enough.
