The ability to feel like I/we represent one family and one nation is critical right now. It’s nice to say, but are we really unified?
It seems this is the one nation where all stand by and are compliant with whatever pays the highest dividend, regardless of the outcome or consequence. In this one nation, many people are highly educated, but it seems no one is assigned in this government to oversee a breach of social contract. Everyone is out only for themselves.
How can I feel love for anyone that continuously violates every, or any, so called friend or situation for self gain? Especially up to the point where it could take their lives and anyone connected to them into a downward spiral or even death? Yet that’s what racism in America feels like. To say one thing and feel something else will never bring people together. That’s family I disown, divorce, cut the cord.
But there is light in the darkness. Kudos for these private organizations who have been serving the underprivileged for years, such as the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, and Street Sense Media — providing food, clothing, housing, job training, and financing for the key to everything: ID such as birth certificates and driver licenses.
We must all bring what we can to the table and support each other as one nation, one family.
