You can be sick and tired all you want. You have that right. I have the right to point out what I think are the problems, causes and solutions. I am honest in my attempt. To take it personally, is not to take responsibility for the country we live in, and all it's history, including slavery and its legacy today. The point I think Bryan Stephenson is making, is that this is a national responsibility, for all of us, and its impact is felt everywhere.

I am white, a Christian (though much different flavor of one from yours, and not to be maligned), not a southerner (though my Mom was, and my Dad's family is thoroughly red state), and a liberal. And if you say I have done quite enough to destroy this country, then you are doing the maligning as much as me. And I have my own things that I am sick and tired of, I'm sure you know; like 35 years of any amount of progress or dealing with real issues blocked for no reason.

So in my opinion, to look at our country honestly, and pray and work for it to be "great," is ALL our responsibility.
