So Mennonites are trending, and I am compelled to explain that there are many traditional sects of Anabaptism who wear plain dress and head coverings, and debates about whether these are Amish or Mennonites weirdly miss the point. Read their signs, not their clothes.
Like, I am Mennonite. You can see from my profile picture that I don’t dress traditionally. I find it wonderful that typically more isolated sects are coming out to protest that Black lives matter.
It’s also super weird to see people gleefully correcting each other on Twitter about who they are. Like you know? *I* don’t know from picture, and our peoples are related.
Anyway, the point is... all white people should do the work of anti-racism. Black lives matter. For any Mennonites reading, pacifism requires using your privilege to make peace. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
