Hate: The seeds of racism
Tue, 11/07/2023 - 12:00am
In 1994 there began one of the most horrific national genocides in the African nation of Rwanda. In a period of 100 days, nearly 1,000,000 people were murdered, mostly members of the Tutsi tribal population, by the opposing Hutu tribe. My wife and I watched the move, Hotel Rwanda, which portrayed the story of the slaughter. It was heart-wrenching. The killers and victims were both Africans, both Rwandans, but some belonged to one tribe, and some of another. Africans would call this tribalism, toward Jews it would be antisemitism and in America, it would be racism.

Gather & scatter

Do you scatter some of what you gather? If you do not, you have a balance due to society, family, and your colleagues. The very foundation of life requires us to give others the knowledge and benefi ts we gained. It can and does liberate the soul to share things that work… and own the things that do not work.

Only teamwork can make your dreams work. If you think you are in any fight just on your own, you may have another thought coming.

An older woman, her age nearing the century mark, deeply desired to attend the recent Howard Payne University homecoming. She received her baccalaureate degree there some 75 years ago, and this was her first trip back to Brownwood since her graduation.
