How to forgive America for this unfortunate and very true reality? I have no idea, I really don't as I'm far too much of a humanitarian not to see this fact for the evil it truly is. But, I will also say that things are changing....the results of the Guyger trial do seem to highlight a societal shift here. Good to see, I will grant that. And very, very, very long overdue. Rob
History is what it is, and doesn’t ask to be forgiven. Carrying a burden of bitterness for the sins of centuries past is pointless.

Speaking of forgiveness, I don’t see how anyone could fail to be uplifted by the level of grace the victim’s brother demonstrated. I know I couldn’t in that situation.
