Racial Harmony

How do you define racial harmony? How do you explain the racial divide? Can we all just get along? I am shaken to my core with the news that has occurred in the past week.  Mailing pipe bombs to political foes, threatening asylum seekers before they arrive here, killing innocent people at grocery stores and houses of worship. Seemingly,  there was more coverage of a newscaster defending "blackface" for Halloween costumes. Where have we sunk to as a society? Where are the values we hold to be self evident? What will history say about this place and time? More importantly,  what are we going to do about this? I started in the only way I knew how.....I VOTED!!! My vote matters as my voice matters. The time has ended for sitting on the side and letting others decide our fate. Our political leaders have lost their way, and they're taking us with them. I refuse to be complicit in this. History may not record my name, but it will recognize the fact that my actions led to a shift in our society.  If we have true racial harmony,  inclusion, and diversity,  we will make this world a better place.  We will all be equal and we could all enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  I am charting a new course which allows us to keep running for the mark of the high calling.  Our journeys are colliding to fight the good fight of faith. We are going to free ourselves from this bondage and recreate the world around us.  Our beliefs. Our ethics. Our morals. Reestablished by our collective sense of right and wrong as we continue to strive to live our best life. The purple life.  How has this week's events affected you? What are you planning to do? Please share in the comments below.  Thanks for stopping by.  Take Care and God Bless!!!

  1. Great summation of the feelings that many have felt and could not verbalize as eloquently as you have done.
