Subject: RE: BS: Are we all bigots?
Well, (as your video expresses) in a sense we are all bigots in that we have allegiances, race, religion, sports interests, ethical stances and even just opinions. But we are also all human beings, and the similarities between us may be stronger than the differences. Most ordinary people have an innate humanity and fellow-feeling for others. Things such as compassion, fair-mindedness, sympathy, understanding and care are still in us.

The events in Dallas are dreadful. Hopefully this will stimulate a turning point, as people say "Enough!" and look for ways to heal society. This happened (eventually!) in Northern Ireland and South Africa.
I'm sorry you're feeling dark today Donuel. But there may yet be hope ahead...
