Open Monthly Roundtable - Building and
Strengthening Neighborly Race Relationships and Neighborly Equity
Though
racially distinct from one another, we live in harmony, as a community
in unity East and West of I-35, East and West of MoPac; To identify
one's self with a race community in and of itself is neither divisive
nor unhealthy provided these distinctions are "bridges to enriching and
advancing together" in harmony and unity rather than serving as walls,
barriers, obstacles, restrictions, sources of fear, unforgiveness,
anger, distrust, hate, divisiveness, fragmentation and hindrances to
living in harmony and building unity together. Valuing, respecting,
relating, protecting, caring and living in harmony with only those of
the same race, sharing the same biological, physiological background
greatly challenges community harmony, unity, progress, common ground,
common agenda and the common good.
Even
those of us who have suffered at the hands of others, individually or
collectively, are to seek to overcome hostility, forgiving those who
have offended us and asking forgiveness from those whom we ourselves
have offended. We are to embrace and value one another as formerly
estranged, prodigal neighbors, brothers and sisters and live, work,
play, be a village community in unity thriving and living together in
harmony.
