Open Monthly Roundtable - Building and Strengthening Neighborly Race Relationships and Neighborly Equity
Though racially distinct from one another, we live in harmony, as a community in unity East and West of I-35, East and West of MoPac; To identify one's self with a race community in and of itself is neither divisive nor unhealthy provided these distinctions are "bridges to enriching and advancing together" in harmony and unity rather than serving as walls, barriers, obstacles, restrictions, sources of fear, unforgiveness, anger, distrust, hate, divisiveness, fragmentation and hindrances to living in harmony and building unity together. Valuing, respecting, relating, protecting, caring and living in harmony with only those of the same race, sharing the same biological, physiological background greatly challenges community harmony, unity, progress, common ground, common agenda and the common good.
Even those of us who have suffered at the hands of others, individually or collectively, are to seek to overcome hostility, forgiving those who have offended us and asking forgiveness from those whom we ourselves have offended. We are to embrace and value one another as formerly estranged, prodigal neighbors, brothers and sisters and live, work, play, be a village community in unity thriving and living together in harmony.
