Still thinking about the string of police cases, their very similar nature and outcomes. It isnât a secret that America has a broad, diverse population and a terrible past trying to deal with our diversity.
Our past isnât going away. Our diverse population isnât going away either. Itâs who we are. We occasionally celebrate it, boasting that we are a melting pot. But, we might be more accurately described as a smorgasbord, not a one pot dinner. That means you can avoid the pickled herring if you don’t like it.
But it’s always rude to ridicule people who like pickled herring. And many of us have moved way beyond rude to outright hostile, and the whole buffet table could be pulled down right in front of our eyes.
