Removed And Renamed
On the FB Page where I swiped the above meme, the following Comment was Posted:
"If I were a black person who no longer had to drive past a giant memorial to a Confederate on my way to/from work every day, my life would be better."
My reply to that Comment:
Not really. The statues provided the opportunity, the starting point, for people to honestly discuss, "What happened? How did they get there? How can we raise consciousness so horrible things are never done to a particular type or class of people again? The Bible that was used to justify slavery is the same Bible used today to justify atrocities. Maybe we should take a look at who, at what forces, are twisting and ‘interpreting’ the Bible.”
