pan.....Honestly, I just dont have the interest or patience in pursuing this with you.
Your last statement says it all to me:
We need to work forward together, as long as a group follows a negative leader(s) we can never work for a truly better community because there will not be open communications and positive answers sought.
Basing your characterization of a "negative leader" on only one aspect of his life's words and work....and choosing to ignore the fact the central message of the church is to promote self improvement through accepting responsibility to ones self, family and community.
I will continue to engage in discussions and dialogues on race relations...but it wont be here and it wont be with you.
