Can America's 'Race Problem' Be Solved?

Published:

Yes it can and will. There is a new generation of children that is determined not to make the same mistakes of their parents and grandparents. I was a middle school science/math teacher for 30+ years in one of the largest school system in Georgia. I was privileged to teach some of the brightest students in predominantly white and predominantly black schools. As a teacher, you cannot have respect of person. You must be color blind. If you are not, the students will spot a phony in a minute. But I found that when students respect you and your actions speak louder than your words, they will open up to you and share their true feelings. I have always had a good rapport with my students.

I use to ask my students the question: Are you the lost generation or generation X as many like to refer to you as? Their answer was always no! They use to tell me that is the same thing they use to say about my parents and their parents. That too was a lie from the pits of hell. I use to say to them every generation has a chance to make things better for everyone. That is why I’m so optimistic about the future.

Let’s face it. This generation does not share the mentality of their parents and grandparents. They believe we can live together in peace without racial divide. So yes, America can and will solve this race problem, it will take our children’ generation to accomplish it. I pray that GOD let me live to witness it.

Speedy, this is a very nice piece, and, "peace" here. However, you're guaranteed not to receive any comments outside of this one because it doesn't fit the overall objective. Both the objective and the poster here will be refused and resented. Post an article about high profile Republicans speaking out against peace and taking up arms to initiate war on everyone not like them, and there won't be enough room or bandwith to contain all the traffic you'd get.

My own personal peace movement, although not easy at times, consists of interacting regularly with my (R) counterparts. We agree, we disagree, we agree to disagree. The best part is that I learn a lot about why a certain type of people think and act the way they do towards Democrats and blacks in general. In turn, they learn from me why a certain type of people act and think they do about Republicans and whites in general...it's very productive.

I tell them about my posts here at LP so they can read them...all of them. For the most part, they get a real good laugh while also becoming embarrassed by a lot of it. I'm also have to bite my lip over some of what I see from from my own people. They're perplexed about something, though. They can always seem to find articles on how (R) are falling short, lying, and pushing alternative agendas..and send them to me. I do the same for them with (D).

Take a good long hard look around here, and most people can only find things wrong with the opposite party. This is the root of all the issues we have right now...everyone is afraid to call their "brother" out and tell 'em that their wrong. They turn a blind eye so they don't disrupt anything. The one's that do have the n*ts to step up and speak out at times like McCain, Graham, and a couple others, they get drop kicked and body slammed. Same thing with the (D).

We won't have any peace until men become real men and give their own people a piece of the truth and any cost instead of selling out. This will promote a common cause for doing what's right ultimately foster true peace in my opinion.

Take it easy and remember that if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem. There's no in between.

While you offer some good suggestions, that was not the purpose of my comment. I have no agenda. This is only my opinion about how the next generation is our hope for tomorrow.
