With all of that in mind, it's a bit tough to just forget, join hands and sing Kuymba together like all is well.
To date nothing has changed, so I think I'll remain skeptical until some trust is earned?
That is on the leadership to prove this time. If we're trying to be civil that's at least a good starting point. We can't get past the past until it changes in the present. (Sounds like a Hillary speech sorry).
Reasoned debate is productive but the variables are different even in locals across the state you live in so it's hard to agree on everything.
The feds and the courts will settle the bigger issues of alleged corruption, etc.
We need to find common ground for the upcoming CBA proposals or confusion will dilute our goals. Just my opinion.
BTW:
Sometimes it's just good to lay down the sword and tell your estranged brother that you appreciate their courage even when you don't agree with everything they fight for or against. It creates tolerance and moves people together at least in respect.
