  • Racist "terrorist" hits Charleston! Blacks and whites call for peace.
    As the day following the killing of nine innocents in a historic church in Charleston, South Carolina I found myself (as well as many others) invisioning the response of the nation. As expected, the people most affected by the slaughter called for prayer, peace and reconciliation. With overwhelming sadness I also saw the onslaught of hate, racist comments, political posturing and attacks on the 2nd Amendment in the form of gun control.
