We are not as divided as the media wants us to believe. Many of us moved beyond race. It wasn't about embracing diversity, it was man plus woman and love was the results. Proximity breeds familiarity and given time most people would naturally move beyond our outer appearance differences. Culture is really everything here.

And there are ample Christians amongst minorities that God can sow the seeds of love and unity between all of us.

Speaking on behalf of our conservative, now adult kids. I have to believe that at least the right can get past this and move forward together. Let the left wallow in hate while they consume and sacrifice their own children to Moloch in their planned parenthood temples. In a few years, we will all be bound as family while they will only bond in hate.

The tragedy of all this is that MLK’s “dream” has been achieved - but those benefiting from it found more value in the pursuit of it than the achievement thereof, so are demanding we return to assigned roles of villains. They can’t accept that the “dream” requires effort to live, that “privilege” is the result of wise choices & hard work. They want a return to the days of free crap in return for prolific bitching.

Well put.

I'd suppose so; any genetic (or similar) explanation is unsatisfying in a number of ways. If we really believed in something like that, more conservatives than so-called liberals would be telling us to follow Europe.

I propose that Christianity and its effects are important things that any real discussion cannot ignore. (I add that according to the best authorities, Jesus did not preach "your best civilization now," and a nicely paved and maintained street will not lead me to heaven.)
