To draw a whole tribe into a confrontation premised on innuendo, misperceptions and frankly hot air, is dicey and precarious business at best. Tribal war is ugly .There are some among us who are incurably tribal in their approach. They hear a name and they assume tribe. They see an act and they assume tribe. They catch a scent and the fumes reeks tribe. They are not able to decipher anything without putting on their tribal lenses. Even when commonsense objects to their shady analysis, they persist to make a fool of themselves. To such people, we must say enough! To such people, we owe no support whatsoever. If tribe becomes a burden that prevents me from exercising commonsense, then I want no part of it. If I can’t relate to an opposing view because all I see is tribe then the gravity of my depravity is dizzying. For I yearn for that day, when our fellow human beings, remain our brothers or sisters, regardless of tribe.
