soule: Mr. Belcher: When are we going to stop self-destructing? We have kids hooked on drugs; kids who can't read, can't write; street gangs and now flash mobs; people have lost their homes, their jobs, their savings, their dignity. When are we going to work together, no matter what our color, to solve the problems that really matter? I am sick and tired of hearing the 'race' card being used to further someone's agenda, assuage a long-ago grievance/wrong, or just give someone an excuse to gain media attention. We all have so much to give to make this country a better place. And you would be one of them. Can we please get past the past and move on? Let us seek solutions and not continue to drag up the wrongs that the majority of us know were wrong. We have graduated. My family has been here for generations. I am sure that if I investigated, I would find that many of my people were unjustly and unfairly treated. We need to come together as a people, as a nation. Stop the in-fighting, bickering and name-calling because there is a higher calling beckoning us--G-d. If we continue to let the past weigh us down, we will surely drown. The important thing is we can learn from the Past but the Past is just that...passed. We live in the present. And it is just that, a present for us to open up each and every day.
