\nDat dun!\n<\/p>\n
\nThe next step is the easiest hurdle to step over. We should at this very moment take individual responsibility for not fostering the environment that would have prevented the fracture.
\nEach of us, at some time or another have inserted some of the venomous issues that keeps us torn.
\nAt the moment we inserted our brand of poison, it may have seemed like nothing (to us) at that moment or some how it was justified as the correct thing to do, but it was just enough to make the rip bigger.\n<\/p>\n
\nDig this!\n<\/p>\n
\nLet us use one aspect of our music as an example.
\nWhen we play music that encourages us to hate those that hate us, we are already planting seeds of ill towards each other. The ugly words embedded with lovely beat does not simply float into one ear and out the next. It connects on some level, no matter how miniscule may at some time make itself known.\n<\/p>\n
\nOur music should reflect the best of us, our achievements, our future goals, the beauty of our people, inside and out. It should offer us solutions to our daily struggles. It should not degrade or belittle any of us in anyway shape or form. Music is a common bond and can be used to unite us as one.
\nIf there was a change in the music we endorse, there would be a change in our attitudes toward each other.
\nOk, so we have offered one likkle solution or one stitch to help sew up the whole piece ah fabric. What other solution do you offer? Pick up di neegle and mek a stitch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
