Race relations continue to slide as mistrust and bitterness are cultivated and regarded as virtues.

In this latest saga, a motorist was shot to death by a North Charleston Police Officer. Walter Scott was shot in the back. This time around there is damning video that leaves little doubt about what happened, though the whys and wherefores are yet to be discerned.

In an extraordinary interview conducted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Scott quickly made it known that in this dark hour “the Lord is my strength”. She continued by expressing her hope that God is the reason she has hope for true justice. Scott also declared that the very presence of the person who shot the video is evidence of divine intervention.
