Wise Words from Ben Franklin

Recently it has come to every one's attention that African Americans often speak (around the dinner table) of the anger and dislike that they have towards "white" folks. With that being a given perhaps the words of an old man named "Ben" would help diffuse some if not all of this "anger".Ben wrote "Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.I can't help but think that if this were put into practice today that things and conditions would improve dramatically.
