TUESDAY TALKS - ROLAND MARTIN

 
Watching the results of the US Presidential election play out on social media last week was very sad for me. Not because my candidate did not prevail, because my candidate did, but I was disappointed for other reasons. I am of the belief that it is possible for "good people" to disagree, but seeing so many of the Trump supporting evangelicals on my timeline question the morals, intelligence and even the Christianity of those of us who would never support Trump was disheartening. It was painful to know that these friends could overlook the character of their candidate, as well as the myriad human rights violations that took place under his administration, from the children caged at our borders to the multiple instances of police brutality such as the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, among other atrocities. But it was even more painful that some saw those of us who voted in opposition to these things as "enemies of God". It was painful not because it underscored the divisions in the Church, but the deep divisions in our country that allow those of different hues to have extremely different experiences while on the same soil. This conversation by Roland Martin with his esteemed panelists expressed very eloquently what so many of us are feeling in the aftermath of this. Enjoy! Love you all!
