The conversation we need
VP Joe Biden is starting the conversation we need in the US — not just on guns, but on healing.
“In these days and weeks ahead, we’ll continue to offer our thoughts and prayers and provide comfort for the broken-hearted families. But they’ll only be redeemed by the courage of our actions that honor their memories.” — VP Joe Biden on #Dallas.
This is something I’ve been thinking a lot about since the shootings in Baton Rouge, Minnesota, and Dallas. Dan Balz, in Killings and Racial Tensions Commingle with Divided and Divisive Politics, also addresses how US society seems to be unravelling. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the kind of conversation and steps we need to overcome these divisions.
