If youve wondered, What could I possibly do? The problem is way too big, there is something you can do. Get to know someone of a different color. Because when you love someone, you care about what they care about. When they hurt you hurt. As far as I know, spending time together is the only proven way to improve relationships between blacks and whites or, for that matter, anyone else. ~ Patrick Morley, chairman and CEO, Man in the Mirror Seek first to understand, then to be understood. ~ Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Understanding begins when we see each other as people and not interest groups.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing ~ 1 Corinthians 13:2
