How do we heal?

What does it take for Obama to see that the well deserved celebration was perceived as an axe grinding by many?

He won the election. There is no doubt. He won. He deserved to rejoice. Those who supported him deserved the reward as well.

Christians were offended. Races were offended. People are now concerned more than ever.

We can sit here and argue and we can say people should not be offended, but they were. It does not change what happened. Racists from all sides can say, "I told you so." That will not help America.

Blacks need to understand the implications. Whites need to understand the implications. Christians and non Christians need to understand the implications.

I fear we are headed for more division and no healing.

I am a Christian...and I am not offended.

Me neither Alice-- I guess as someone that grew up on a reservation- that was homesteaded on by immigrants from around the world--living with people of all kinds of differing nationalities/colors- some that barely could or had a huge accent speaking English (knowing some that never could speak English fluently)-- with all types of differing religions from Catholic, to all types of Protestant including the Mennonites and the Hutterites- and then the Native American worship of their God/Gods-along with some agnostics/atheists-- I was very excited to see the REAL America exhibited.....

In the last few years its seemed to me that it was the current NEOCON Repubs that have tryed to designate that all Americans that count- are only white, old folks, with big bank accounts and country club memberships-that follow only their beliefs of what Christianity is-- and that offended me... :(

So now it is your turn to be offensive. Go for it. Don't be surprised at the results you get.
