Over the last few nights, I have been on the road a lot. I was in Mount Vernon one night, and in Centralia the next.

搁贰尝础罢贰顿:听Use education for ignorance, confrontation for hate

While driving, I鈥檝e been listening to a lot of . I鈥檝e listened before, but not like this. Have you ever listened to something before, and when you listened again it hit you totally different? It’s like that.

While hanging out in these towns, I had a great time, with great people. While in line to get food at both events, something stood out to me: All of us enjoyed the food (although I enjoy all food). In Mount Vernon, they had this fish that was amazing. Down in Centralia, they had this place called Marv鈥檚 BBQ, and it was fire (that鈥檚 good).

There鈥檚 a sense of common ground when folks sit down together to enjoy a meal. When it comes to food, there鈥檚 really no judgment, other than if the food is 鈥済ood鈥� or 鈥渂ad.鈥�

It doesn鈥檛 matter what it looks like. If it鈥檚 鈥済ood,鈥� then let鈥檚 enjoy it. If it鈥檚 鈥渂ad,鈥� then we won鈥檛 don鈥檛 want it. How do we know if it鈥檚 good? Can we look at the food and know if it鈥檚 good? No, you have to taste it first.

You still with me?

While listening to the speeches and preachings of Dr. King, I realize some of the main reasons he was assassinated.

More and more, he was getting folks together, and they were sitting down to talk. While talking, they were starting to realize that maybe they were wrong.

Maybe they were judging the food before they tasted it.

The longer King Jr. was alive, the more he was bringing people together. For some reason, that鈥檚 when fear came in. I guess we couldn鈥檛 have people knowing, so they had to continue to drive a narrative in order to keep things separate.

Now, we have social media to help even more with the divide. We now look and judge people even though we鈥檝e never met them (I鈥檓 guilty of this too, by the way).

I鈥檓 sure that over the last two days, I鈥檝e sat down with some that have different political views than me. However, it didn鈥檛 matter,聽 because I wasn鈥檛 thinking about that. All I was thinking about was the good conversation, good people, and the good food.

Sit down, and have a meal with someone outside of your bubble. It鈥檚 the best!

P.S. Dear Marv鈥檚 BBQ: That garlic bread is the best I鈥檝e ever tasted.
