Yale Episcopal chaplain Rev. Bruce Shipman digs deeper

From The Washington Post (Follow up to a post from yesterday)-

Time to revisit Rev. Shipman, the Episcopal Chapman at Yale.  Readers will recall that Rev. Shipman wrote a letter to the N.Y.

Shipman was engaging in unacceptable victim-blaming. Let me put it even more bluntly now: he is blaming the victims of racism for the existence of racism.
