“But one of the big questions at the moment is how much do some of those groups that are in conflict want to be in relationship? I agree, and I think one of the deepest dangers in our country is that we’ve fallen out of love with each other. When you no longer have relational longing, you just leave. When I work with organizations, with churches, one of the things that I tell leaders is to find and cultivate that relational longing, that residual desire to still want to be in community with each other. Families, particularly across political divides — which are many families in this country — still have a residual desire for one another. When we fall out of love with one another, that’s a dangerous place to be.” NY Times.
No question that there is an increasing cultural divide in America between White and People of Color! I’m reminded of Abraham Lincoln holding a cabinet meeting and hearing his two sons arguing in the next room excused himself. When he returned someone asked him what the problem was and he replied the same problem with the rest of the world there were only 3 chestnuts and they both wanted two! As white folks continue to decline both financially and at the polls they will be increasingly fighting to hold on to their 2 chestnuts while the people of color will be looking to get their 2 as well. To the degree that White folks believe that People of Color got theirs unfairly because of DEI or stole them by committing Fraud might well provoke another Civil War!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
