I promise you that is not the case for a lot of people.Quote:

It is certainly not a quick fix. I've told you and stated many times that it will require a spiritual fix. We as Christians are commanded to do things that will make a difference in the lives of those who need help. I'm doing what I can. One life at a time. My church is doing what it can and my denomination is doing what it can.Quote:

FWIW, this is a social issue and not comparable with health issues like Cancer. Have you seen any organizations that tout their services to help remove the social injustices experienced by the black man?
I commend you for what you're doing and I have no doubt that it is effective. In offering a solution, it's clear that you see a problem. I think THAT is the point. We will always have disagreements about courses of action, but admitting that there is a problem is the first step to understanding and, ultimately, a more perfect union.Quote:

But to answer your question, yes, from mobile health units to literacy services and beyond.

Don't expect any changes because they (the Government) really don't want to educate this segment of society.
We don't disagree on that, but we have to take responsibility for our government and push them to change...thus, the protests. Like I said, what the change looks like and the courses of action will not be mutually agreed upon. But, as citizens, ignoring the problem is not an option.Quote:

Which goes back to my point - everything but the original protest by Kap and a few others was a middle finger back at Trump due to his remarks in Bama...
Follow the $$$$$$$$$$
Because, if you work your way towards a solution, there are fewer things to gripe about.Quote:

I know what the world looks like from that bubble. If you want to grow, you should look outside of it.Quote:
