How many media hours have been devoted to Rev. Michael Pfleger and Rev. Jeremiah Wright? They are turning the spotlight to race. And when it finally manages to escape to a new topic, another fiery serman surfaces that puts it right back there again.
And it’s true, race will matter.
But it will no longer be a fight for fair hiring practices, or receiving fair home or business loans. It won’t even be about poverty– it will be about survival in a world where resources have never been scarcer.
I’m talking about global warming. You know the saying…the first wars were fought over land, the current wars are fought over oil. But the wars of the future, they will be fought over water.
We are getting to that point– the “africanization” of southern Europe that is transforming olive groves into desert…hurricanes and floods that are leaving in their wake homeless, migratory masses…
…and people will band together. By family, by race, by country, and my prediction is that the harder it is to come by what you need, the tighter the group you will be willing to share with.
And that’s when were going to see racial tensions on a new scale.
So instead of preaching about black vs. white, Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger should re-focus their efforts to unite people in confronting global warming.
If they want controversial, you can’t get more controversial than that.
Nature doesn’t care what color your skin is.
