Task Force on Racial Healing
Forum to Look at Future Trends for Winston-Salem
The future for African Americans in Winston-Salem, North Carolina may not be as dire as I first thought. According the Nat Irvin, in the year 2020, you may not be able to identify citizens of Winston-Salem by the color of the skin or traditional racial characteristics. If this racial identifier is not available, then people will have to judge people by some other means, let me suggest the contents of their heart, character, integrity and their beliefs in right and wrong and in good and evil. Let people join with other people who believe as they do and not be forced into racial stereotypes.
All the panelists were very positive about what needed to be done to make Winston-Salem live up to its potential. All the panelist agreed that we citizens are in the same boat and we either sail or sink together. Like always, the citizens are far ahead of the Powers That Be about what it takes to make Winston-Salem/Forsyth County a great place to live and raise a family.
Some people seem to think that there will be trouble between African Americans and Hispanics. I do not see this happening because we live in the same neighborhoods and face the same problems. This first group of Hispanics know and understand how much better living here is compared to where they came from. Their children will be Hispanics Americans that have never seen Mexico and will demands more than the minimum wage and will not be concerned about being deported. Their issues will be same as for all people, how do I get my piece of the American Dream.
Think about being hired because there is no question that you are the Best Qualified. Think about a Color Blind Society that judges people of on their God given talents and abilities. Think about this, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.” This will also make the Task Force of Racial Healing more successful.
