This had the makings of a very nice opinion piece, but boom! Suddenly it veered off into an odd political left wing spiral. “Be your brown brothers keeper”. Why not just leave it at, be your brothers keeper? After all, America’s citizenry are as diverse as any on this planet.
After 8 years of our current Administration, America’s racial divide has widened immensely. So much so, that we desperately need another MLK to regain the positive ground gained since the 1950’s.
Beautifully stated, Lori! Indeed, we MUST look after each other, and speak up when we see injustice and cruelty. There are SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES to do that in our world today. Thank you for reminding us!

Many of us like Trump’s basic ideas but the man himself is sexist, ego centered. If he insulted Rosie O’Donnel he would insult Angela Merkel, so last year I knew I could not vote for that type of man as president. The 1950’s were good only for white men, women and minorities didn’t get real rights until 1970. I do not want to go back, because at 71 I know those were not the good old days. We need employment. But we need people to be willing to retrain. A vengeance to keep your old job won’t work in the 21st century. Youth now expect to have 2-3 careers, but “the good ole boys” aren’t being realistic with the voters.
Thank for the reminder Lori!
UPDATE:
On Saturday, 10/8/16, Congressman Steve Knight issued this statement:
In my career as a law enforcement professional I was confronted with and worked tirelessly to end the horrific reality of violence toward women. After hearing Donald Trump’s inexcusable comments last night I was deeply disturbed & reminded of that reprehensible behavior. While I’ve never before endorsed a Presidential candidate, I’ve felt compelled to strongly condemn many of Mr. Trump’s previous outrageous remarks. And after serious consideration, I have decided that I cannot support either candidate for President. I will continue to focus on serving the people of the 25th Congressional District and fighting for our priorities here and in Washington DC.
Glad to hear this response from Steve Knight. While I don’t agree with all his views on abortion, I do favor someone who has lived in this district all his life, as opposed to someone who moved in at the last minute, just to fill a party-supported position. I was with you, Lori, until your thoughtful essay turned into a push piece for Caforio! I fail to see how that’s related.
