Children get it, they don’t see looking different as being a bad thing, all they see is love!
Animals get it!
When will the adults learn?

Thank you so much, dear Carolyn, for this perfect post. I’ve long said that animals have no religion, and don’t judge their fellow critters on the colour of their fur. Humans claim to be a superior race, but in my book, they are far inferior. Hugs. ❤

You are very welcome! My heart just has been sick by it all and I didn’t know what I could say that I haven’t said before, but sometimes simple words and pictures say more.

I think most adults get it. I think it’s only a few who don’t understand, and who cause all the trouble. Racial equality is a lesson that’s pretty easy to learn. Although I imagine it may be more difficult to learn when we see mobs burning buildings and looting businesses. That’s the sort of thing that can harden hearts and create an unnecessary learning block to racial equality.

You are right there are a lot of adults that do indeed get it!
Yes, even George’s family has called for the rioting and looting to stop, that its not the way to honor his memory! And sadly it just makes things worse, for like you said, it causes hard feelings. I saw a video the other day that was so sad, for it was an older black man yelling at the gang that was burning down his business and they had burnt his truck as well.
He told them how he had come from the ghetto too, but he worked hard to get where he was today and now in a matter of minutes they reduced his dream to ashes for what reason??
People have just gone crazy and we have a leader who…. well, don’t get me started on his reaction to all of this and his powerful speech about bringing this Country together …. oh wait, he didn’t make one did he.
Yeah, his silence speaks volumes.

He gave a speech today. Apparently he plans to bring this country together by sending the military into states where governors fail to preserve the peace.
Maybe that might have to become the answer, bloody though that may be, but it sure doesn’t get to the root of the problem. I doubt he has enough character to get to that.

Exactly!
Where is his heart? Its one thing to enforce measures to take care of violence but another to delve into the heart of the matter!

Yeah. That takes work, and a lot of soul searching. I doubt he has that in him.

It is increasingly apparent that the answer must still be “Blowin’ in the Wind”, for it has not yet been found anywhere on this Earth. “The planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” – David W. Orr. I would add two more words to the last sentence “For Everyone”! A favorite song by my favorite performers. Thank-you!

A great song that is still relevant today; sad that we still have the same problems we had nearly 60 years ago when Dylan wrote it.

The images we are seeing this past week or so are disturbing beyond words, though I hope we may have a turned a cultural corner. I’m trying to remain optimistic in a world of chaos, and pray you may stay safe, sane and keep smiling.
