I had a one on one discussion with my minister a number of years ago on a topic close to this. I did not agree with him on everything but we did agree on “do unto others as you would want done unto you”. I treat others as they treat me. Am I supposed to love these people who are burning down buildings, hurting and killing others? Am I supposed to tolerate these people who want to burn down everything this country stands for and turn the other cheek? And when I say these people I mean both black and white. When you cannot have a meaningful conversation with these people it will lead to racism and bigotry on both sides. Racism and bigotry has existed since the beginning of time. Will it ever go away totally? I doubt it as it is part of the human condition. Is it better now than a hundred years ago, definitely but it will never cease to exist.
