Why Can't We Be Friends?
Want to improve race relations but don't know where to start?
Here are some of the many things you can do to help reduce racism in your personal life and in your community.
And a tune I chose to accompany the post. Simple question. Simple lyrics. "Why Can't We Be Friends?"...
The band (War) got the idea for this song when they were traveling in Japan in the early '70s. Drummer Harold Brown said, "We're all connected by language, and by our food, and by our culture. Most racists don't know why they're racist. But you pick them up and take them over and drop them in a country, like India or Pakistan, guess what? 'Why can't we be friends?' Because all of a sudden you find out we're more alike inside than we are on the outside. We started realizing that that's really important. You travel all over the world, you can't speak a lot of their language. But one thing they do know, they know your body language, how you may react."

Before It's Too Late
Have you been out of touch with friends and relatives because you're too busy or life just got in the way? Contact them NOW before it's too late.
The Mistress lost two old friends recently; both middle-aged people who still had a lot to live and a lot to give. Unfortunately, I hadn't been in touch with either of them for over a year because I was too caught up in work and other activities. And basically, I was just too tired at the end of the day to do all the things I wanted to do.
One of my friends took his own life after a losing battle with depression. So if you have a loved one who suffers from depression, please strongly encourage them to get the help they need by contacting a doctor or mental health counselor.
I'm very busy during the next two weeks with work and house guests. But I'm also making an effort to contact old friends with whom I've lost touch. I encourage you Bitches to do the same. Before it's too late.
Note: A more upbeat post to come as soon as possible.
