I don't believe that the poem/prayer that I shared denies any of that. I appreciate your comments, and bringing that aspect of the reality to the fore.Diane M.

But I still believe that what happened in Ferguson could happen in any of our communities, and to pretend otherwise is to stick one's head in the sand and hope the problem goes away on it's own. 8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-39128948987722874552014-08-17T19:15:28.254-05:002014-08-17T19:15:28.254-05:00I appreciate your comment, 8th Day.

While I agree with you that we are all part of Ferguson, there is also a particularity to each of our community's struggles with racism as well.Diane M.

Thank you.<br /><br />However,I do believe that if you live in America, you also live in Ferguson. And if one doesn't think so, they either live way too comfortably, or they do not have their eyes open.<br /><br />May we all be able to move from words to action and do our part to bring peace.8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.com
