Sorry Isn't Enough
How do I explain to a grandson who is African-American, a granddaughter who is from Bhutan, and another granddaughter who is Mexican-Plains Indian...
How do I explain our country and our history of racism? How do I explain the way we view the other? How do I explain the recent shooting and taking of a life in Missouri?
All our explanations lack substance. They are excuses.
Eli, when you visit, stay close. Don't wear baggy pants, or a hoodie.
Let's not fool ourselves. When do we take out the mirror and look , really look, at ourselves?When do we learn to walk in the light?
