This video was really bothersome to me. If this is how Charlotte ends up in 10 years I don't see how anyone would want to live here.

This scenerio would be great! More racial trust would be great. Like the pastor said in The Beat Goes On, if you can't trust your neighbor, then who can you trust? I wish Charlotte would be more like this in 2015. It would take a long time and effort to become like this, but anything is possible.

I also think it was good that the pastor pointed out differences among people. How different people need to trust one another and to get along. Also, the single mother trying to raise her son and keep her job at the same time. Trying to do the best thing for her son by putting him in a private school, but also trying to keep a paycheck and getting over time before they make more cuts at work.... read more

I also believe that this is unrealistic. As Charlotte being one of the top job markets in banks, schools are achieving greatly, and being in a great streak of growth, and just overall seeiming to be crime and problem free. although all these things might not be achieveable all at once, I also believe that anything is possible and that anything can happen.

Hatred based on racism and hurt feeling has eat away the good intentions and bold effort that many Charlotte resident are trying to promote. People should note that human being should treat each other equally. I agree with Mr. Lewes that we better start talking to each other and more importantly listen to each other.

WoW. Charlotte in the year 2015 is scarey. A hire rate of gangs and shootings, and girls even being involved in it. It is really sad to watch a movie like this because the shelter was full, no jobs, no house, basically no food, and no money. Even the person who fought for our freedom in Iraq was being mistreated. I caught a couple quotes out of this story. A gentlemen stated, "What is... read more

Our commonality are much more that our differences. Lets share our commonality as a way of reducing fear and mistrust among ourselves. This will create confidence to approach our differences.

I don't want to relate crime with poverty but if you do by just counting number of poor in jails, then you are right. However remember among those prisoners are there because the couldn't either buy justice, or afford a lawyer. As the gap between those who have and those who have not widen its time to address the issue before it run out of hand. The better approach to my opinion is... read more

it would be great if Charlotte could overcome it's racial problems and in the future Charlotte would be just like this scenario.
