This much is certain: if we as a society are not moving away from bigotry and prejudice, if we as a society are not moving away from materialism and the exploitation of the poor, if we as a society are not moving away from militarism and endless wars, then we as individuals must make some radically different choices. To change the direction of this or any country, we must first change our choices.
No question about it, we must get our culture back to Dr. King’s vision of placing value on the content of one’s character, not the color of one’s skin. I’ve been so distraught by the direction of our country’s culture during these past few decades; this is not the right path, and the vast majority of Americans know it. Let’s hope that we have bottomed out now! Clear-thinking writers such as yourself, Peter, can do so much to guide the younger generations.
“Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it” - Proverbs 22:6
