The murders of innocent Black people caught on cellphone video incite the masses.

Innocent Dallas policemen just looking to protect the rights of protesters to speak at a peaceful rally gunned down by a lone gunman with hatred in his heart.

And all this replayed over and over again on traditional and social media.

Makes it tough for people who reject this type of behavior or who have children who are witnessing what appears to be the unraveling of America as if it were the 1960’s all over again.

Living in a world of racial violence requires small, steady steps of positivity that will in the end prevail over such hatred and violence.

1. 99.9% of America is made up of good people who do not condone nor encourage racial violence – a statistic worth remembering because you won’t hear it on social media or television news.
2. Focus on the first responders, the people who do good in bad situations – this is our hope because it represents the majority of Americans.
3. Hatred now travels at the speed of social media that explains why shootings and even arrests are streamed live on sites like Facebook.  We need to govern our use of social media to allow a moment of context. Social media is an excellent source of exposing wrongdoing but it is also an excellent source at starting a riot.

A day after the Dallas shootings in a post office far away in Moorestown, NJ a black father never let go of the hand of his son – not for one moment. He experienced no threats or cause for concern but to neutralize the less than 1% of the popular that harbors hatred and hurts people, it is our responsibility to show our humanity to others and remind them that we are all one.
