The NBA coach stood alone and uttered: “why do we love a
country that doesn’t love us back?”
Indeed. Why?
That simple question is the heart of Black Lives Matter.
There are those who claim many blacks have failed themselves
and their own community. My response is: many whites have failed themselves and
their community. Being human means we are flawed. We make mistakes. We think
illogically. We are emotional and yes, selfish. These basics warp our lives.
Admitting that is the first step in making progress toward
something better.
Same with our black brothers and sisters. They have a lot of
work ahead of them. So does white America.
Why is our love for our country different from someone else’s?
Why does our nation treat people differently? Why does injustice exist in a
land known for justice and individual freedom?
Think on those questions. Help make the answers unnecessary.
