America working through its race issues...

...seems to be the focus of 4 of the top topics in Town Hall at the moment. Oops, I think I just started a fifth. Pity there's no retrospective way to bundle threads together under a single heading.

Taking responsibility for our own actions and their consequences does seem to me to be the missing ingredient in the various circular firing squads around this issue. Oops, I think I just did the same thing.

As Christians, we often look for groups of people we can help. Minorities tend to have some big issues that we target. Issues like dropping out of school, alcoholism, drug abuse, births out of wedlock and lack of fathers in the home make them a good target group for Christians to target.

White people also suffer with these same issues but a much smaller percentage of them than do many minority groups. As a result, many whites are wealthy and fairly healthy emotionally and mentally. That makes them a much harder group to reach. Perhaps the best shot at reaching whites is through some kind of divorce healing since that is a time when they feel vulnerable and are open to spiritual needs.
