Racism is not a political issue. It is in its core a sin. Those who practice it are saying---I am better then you because of the color of my skin. So with this I have one question to ask---what did you do to be born this color? All of us one day plopped out between a mothers legs. We had no influence as to whose legs we came out of. So it is plain folly to claim some sorta value to which we had no choice in. Racism is of the sin of pride. No political claim will cure this sin. Somebody will always be left out. Man after all has no real solutions to anything of importance. I have seen racism from many different angles. My parents came here from the Azore islands of Portugal. I can remember as a kid hearing many old coots saying---They are no good they came from that island. Ive heard people from northern Italy lambasting those from southern italy because they were of darker skin.Also Ive heard african americans lambasting other african americans because they were darker. Racism has nothing to do with race. Today political leaders exploit it for gain and power. They solve nothing but getting richer. Racism will never be solved via political or natural venues. It will come when we repent of pride--realize we are all pink in the middle and see others as Christ sees them. Racism in another moral issue satan is using to divide us. Just remember---divided we fall united we stand. Let us all unite in Christ.
