With the recent attacks in South Carolina by a racist psychopath, it is nothing short of horrible that so much needless hatred and violence exists in our country.

Just when you thought the young black man was going to speak for himself, he made us all think when the white woman began to speak for him as he spoke for her. Later on when they "switch" microphones their message is spread in a unique and beautiful way.
