Another Time To Listen

I was looking at one of my posts from
September of 2017 so almost three years
ago.

What I wrote about was the national anthem

being played at the NFL games and the players

kneeling. 

As we can see times haven't changed

a lot in this time. We still need to listen.

With the pandemic and then the shooting

in Minneapolis of a black man then the

whole Black Lives Matter.

I find it interesting the Black Lives Matter

has turned into more of a political issue.

It is still important to listen to one another,

however, let's not put politics into it. I 

suppose there are those will say politics

will always come into situations like this

but I don't really think it has too.

If you are white and you have a friend who

is of another color it might be a good idea

to sit down and talk about what is going on.

Actually let's go further and say you are

any color sit down with someone with 

someone who is different whether it is 

color or have other issues. We all have

a story to tell.

I am white, however, I haven't always been

treated well especially by those who are

white. I grew up in a small town made up

of over 90 per cent white. I am not sure

they were racist or not this is just how it

was. My parents never told to treat someone

of another color or race different than I would

any of the same color.

The truth is we don't know anyone else's 

story so let's sit down and listen. Amen!
