TODAY THE WORDS are INTOLERANCE. In our country for all races to be at peace, there has to be NO tolerance for violence against any innocent people! We will never have racial equality when we do not address all sides and believe we are all important to our survival. If we knew earth was being attacked by aliens; would it matter what color skin any of us have? We would ban together to fight enemies and not ourselves. If we stop and think….What better way to destroy America is by tearing us apart. For me, when a child, man or woman gets killed by no fault of their own, I realize the hurt the entire family goes through. My brother was killed by a white man and it didn’t make it hurt less what color he was. Our nation should recognize it is not the Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, or Whites that are being played one against the other; it is all Americans by those who would rather hate and spread vicious hate amongst people for their own popularity. Too many agenda minded and self serving people who find themselves in the spotlight are spreading the wrong message. We need to forget the “race” card and remember “God’s children’s” card. It is not a matter of color; it is a matter of innocence. I have been watching since a young man, African American was killed and no matter what your feelings are toward the outcome of the jury whether it had been guilty or acquitted, he was still gone from this earth. I have seen matching stories where a white child unarmed was shot by a black neighborhood watchman who was acquitted for self defence, which have not gotten any public main stream media attention and while this seems to be racial injustice too, why are we not trying to fix both problems? Why does it have to be a race issue or a “too easy to shoot someone” issue? Before anyone gets riled up and takes a gun control side; I was brought up in a home with a policeman who never locked his gun up but taught us not to touch it. I do advocate keeping guns locked up since parents don’t seem to have the control like our parents did over us. All of this being said, “Listen world, it is not always about black or white, American or another nationality; it is about caring about others.” Parents need to return to paying attention to what they are teaching their children, watch and see what kids are watching on TV and video games, hear how their children are talking to their friends and you as their parents, be mindful of how, parents act toward their children,and take positive action in the home as that is where I think ALL races are failing. If children are taught to respect parents, siblings, friends and teachers as well as other adults; we start making an impact in all races. God is love and He asks us to love each other and that means everybody. We need to stop thinking who killed who and work on stopping the senseless killing! I love America and I want America to be admired and held high in esteem and not become a joke to the world. I have traveled to other countries and have seen their beauty as well so it needs to be an international jump start to ending “hate” and sharing God’s love to each other.
