TAKING A WRONG TURN

The odious young man we read about yesterday made a fateful (and hateful) turn. He found comfort and meaning by plotting then carrying out a vile plan. His victim is a young woman who has never harmed him. He robbed her of her collegiate dreams. He might also have taken from her a promising career and a potential soul mate, the father of her children to be.

He judged his victim guilty of uttering a common term of endearment his own maternal relatives use.

His relations may use that term of endearment with impunity because they have the "correct" genetics. His victim, however, has the "wrong" genetics and may never use that term.

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, with good reason. He is perfect. We are not. His vengeance is perfect. Our's is not.

The racist young man accepted a divisive ideology that melanin (and melanin alone) defines identity. We are either black or white, or yellow or brown. Those who lead us astray claim the essence of our group identity is superficial: skin deep.

We learn the destructive young man has no regrets. If that is so, he is currently irredeemable. He willingly embraced hate. Perforce, hate will consume him.

Left unchecked, that same hate will consume this nation. That is the plan.

As for me and my house, we shall love. We shall first love the Creator, then ourselves, then our neighbors.

We shall not take the wrong turn.
