If I had a ‘teachable moment’, as Obama is referring to the opportunity to get Gates and Crowley together, I hope after some reflection I would talk about looking deeply and honestly into our own souls. Ask ourselves to look at our own biases and prejudices and take a moment to reflect on where they came from and how we let them fester. Did we come by our prejudices by actual experience or are they accrued from listening to other people’s experiences? Have we been totally honest with ourselves as to everyone else’s role in our experiences? Even more importantly, have we been totally honest with ourselves regarding our role? In other words, could we be inflating circumstances, at times, to suit our preconceived notions of what is happening? Could we, ourselves, be the creator of a situation that otherwise might never have occurred? - MBC
