Freedom means having the liberty to speak loudly or softly, on any topic, on any day, in all 50 states. However, honest discourse cannot occur under the oppressive ideologies of political correctness and cancellation purges. This would be tantamount to fascism or authoritarianism.
We have observed the best of American freedom of expression. Many people, regardless of race, creed or color, reached out to express love, caring and sympathy to the Black population in the U.S. Now, we as Black Americans, must have an honest dialogue with each other about what is “equality and justice.” Our perspectives are as diverse and wide ranging as Al Sharpton to Sen. Tim Scott. We acknowledge the quest for all of us to view one another as equal under God, but unfortunately, the violent and destructive behavior of leftist and rightist elements have become ostentatious.
I believe the process of reconciliation has to start with Black American police officers. They are in a socially awkward but strategically enlightening position. Their perspectives are rooted in real-life, grassroots, day-to-day activities of the communities they serve and sacrifice their lives to. Blue lives matter. Black lives matter. The Lord created many colors, and essentially, white is a color, too.
