Day 17: The Complacency of Reuben
Though Reuben recognizes the wrong of murder, his actions prioritize his own safety over justice—a failure to love. Comfortable justice does nothing more than perpetuate and validate injustice.
Isaiah Blake & Eric Krebs are seniors at Xavier High School in New York City. At the 2016 Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, Isaiah and Eric led a breakout session named Race, Sexuality, and Manhood.
Isaiah is from Brooklyn, New York. After the 2015 Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, he was inspired to create a much-needed a conversation about race at Xavier: the birth of the The Spectrum. In his free time, Isaiah cooks and sings.
Eric Krebs is from Queens, New York and is the son of a union electrician and a school secretary. He is a founding co-president of his high school’s racial justice society The Spectrum. In addition to being an advocate for social justice, Eric is a musician and photographer.
Though Reuben recognizes the wrong of murder, his actions prioritize his own safety over justice—a failure to love. Comfortable justice does nothing more than perpetuate and validate injustice.
