It is with sadness and a heavy heart to know that another mass shootings has taken place in the United States, a nation where there is a free-for-all in purchasing guns. Condolences go out to the relative and friends of the victims and injured from this horrific event that is the deadliest mass shooting in America's history. On another note, it was questionable to hear the uncustomary public loud outcries for God and scripture quoting. But, more surprising was that after weeks and even months of divisive rhetoric from the President that put so many against each other, the message today from him is for all people to unite. But, the divisive reality continues in the eyes of minorities when the President selectively chooses in his speech to the nation not to label a murder of 59 persons as a "son of a bitch" as he did with Black professional sports players or as a "terrorist" as he constantly designates to Muslims. In spite of the vicious crime, this White man is simply considered "a lone wolf" or quickly excused as being sick or mentally ill. How wonderful!! Nevertheless, since a leopard can never remove its identifying spots, it is skeptical how long the President's kumbaya charade will persist with his inconsistent personality. Even more, it never fails that time and again after horrendous incidents such as mass killings, everyone comes together in unity throughout the United States. Let see how long this togetherness lasts this time.
