I was at a meeting the other day where some African American believers were leading a discussion on racism.  It was provoking.  I’d like to share some of my thoughts here occasionally on this blog concerning racism.

 First, racism is as old as mankind, the root issue is sin, selfishness, and mistrust.  One of the most interesting things to consider on this subject is skin color.  Here in America, our racism is mostly centered around those that have a different color of skin.  But, when we read the news from around the world of acts of genocide, we realize that racism is not only about skin color.  In fact, in most cases of genocide around the world, it’s white on white violence, or black on black, or Arab on Arab.

 What does that tell us about racism?  It’s an issue that deeper than skin color.  It’s a very upsetting issue.  But one that we must (as believers in Jesus Christ) be willing to look at and struggle with.  More to come.
