What is the biggest threat to the social contract in our country? What social contract? The biggest threat we face is ignorance about what the social contract that binds us together as citizens is. When we look around for clear accounts we find at least two competing and diametrically opposed understandings: one would have all citizens possessed of equal rights and duties, treated equally under the law. The other denies the older notion of citizenship itself and instead establishes a hierarchy of groups based on racial and sexual identity based on governmental law and policy. The new social contract adopted by the rolling revolution is not the same as the one it seeks to replace. The great question America faces is whether or not the nation will fully embrace it.
I have friends & acquaintances at church and at work who happen to be black. People relate one-on-one. I grew up in 5 states and 3 coasts: Washington, California (2 places), Florida (2 places), Tennessee & Mississippi. Daddy was in the US Navy. My perspective is American, not "race" or political party.
