Race matters by Cornell West, here is a quote from his book

"In these downbeat times, we need as much hope and courage as we do vision and analysis; we must accent the best of each other even as we point out the vicious effects of our racial divide and pernicious consequences of our maldistribution of wealth and power. We simply cannot enter the twenty-first century at each other's throats, even as we acknowledge the weighty forces of racism, patriarchy, economic inequality, homophobia, and ecological abuse on our necks. We are at a crucial crossroad in the history of this nation--and we either hang together by combating these forces that divide and degrade us or we hang separately. Do we have the intelligence, humor, imagination, courage, tolerance, love, respect, and will to meet the challenge? Time will tell. None of us alone can save the nation or world. But each of us can make a positive difference if we commit ourselves to do so."

A christian brother posted this on social media, (Clearly he's a progressive type thinker) I didn't reply to it, but I thought the PT might enjoy discussing the author's quote.

I am all for staying positive and working to to get along but how do we combat the masses being fed by this media of ours?

Anytime I have a discussion with a progressive, they are first to escalate things to foul language and insults.

Love, love love and tolerance... yeah, it's practice so often by people who reject Jesus...
