Forget race; embrace harmony

Posted August 16, 2008 11:00 pm

Some activists will use sensitive events or issues to drive a wedge between people. Some activists do not want to see people live in harmony. To work to improve quality of life and work for human rights is commendable, but to use the "race card" for no real reason is not.

What is it when activist pastors hide behind the Church because they know they are safe?

Church leaders do little and congregations blindly follow. As pastors, they can mock people and spew inflammatory remarks that if spoken by others would be taken to task.

What is it when thousands of whites died to free those in slavery but are not remembered?

What is it when one race is taken to task for errors in judgment, but the other is not?

What is it when one race votes for their candidate because of race, while the other votes for a candidate of another race because the candidate is qualified?

Let's work for harmony among people.
