We cry for the Ukrainian women and child escaping conflict. While we dry our eyes ignoring the African, Latin American, non-white woman and child also escaping even more heinous terror and conflict.
I heard of a church in Lexington, Kentucky claiming fellowship with Ukrainians while I don't recall that same church shedding a tear or lighting a candle for the Yemeni woman and her child Hell I don't recall that same church calling biblical wrath on the police murders of Breonaa Taylor, which happened in their own back yard.
Our selective sympathies ignore the Palestinian woman and her child, the Congolese woman and her child, the South Sudan woman and her child, the Venezuelan woman and her child, the Cuban woman and her child, the Iranian woman and her child, the Syrian woman and her child, the North Korean woman and her child, the Mozambique woman and her child the Somali woman and her child, the Black American woman and her child, the rural and poor White American and her child.
Who and what is the Ukrainian woman and child that brings forth and induces crocodile tears and elective sympathies?
