A Softer Gentler Approach Once Again!

Ok folks I am going to try again to use a softer approach in getting the message across about the state of affairs in our country regarding racial issues. I am human and there are times it becomes so very frustrating that folks will not even be open minded enough to look at the issues on their own. For me it was so very plain to see, once I really examined the issues. Also, when I had questions about race and went to my Black associates, I had to learn that when they attempted to give me an answer based on their lived experiences, that I needed to NOT say BUT and learn to SHUT - UP and truly LISTEN to what they were so kind to share with me. Then and only then, did the pieces begin to fit. And now when I go out into the community, I see those small injustices for myself on a daily basis! I could never live day in and day out, living in a society that does not value your race! 

An Example of What a Bisis is:

·        You are given a choice to eat dinner at  the neighborhood Steak House or Seafood House and you choose the Steak House because you knew they had great food. Another person tried to convince you that the Seafood House also had great food but you refused to even consider eating at the Seafood house because you never ate there so you base your decision on what you know without having an open mind to try something different. 

·        It doesn’t mean you are a bad person or you  hate seafood. It simply means that based on  never experiencing the Seafood House and based on your past experiences with the Steak House, you are you have a bias towards the  Steak House.


So why not keep an open mind and try the Seafood House in order to experience both?
