Listening to someone on TV express concerns that racism still pervades our whole society, I finally began to understand. The problem is a matter of perception. I may not consider what I do to be racist in nature, but it may be perceived by others to be so. That which seems perfectly innocent, even natural, to me may evoke feelings of anger in others because of past history. The feelings are strong among people of all nationalities.
Many whites think that all the laws do is protect the minorities at the expense of the whites.
Blacks and Hispanics recognize that laws alone will not solve the problems we have in society today when attitudes and perceptions like these still exist. Hope to solve this problem must begin with those of us who been called of the Lord, who have asked Jesus Christ to take control of our lives. We must walk in a manner worthy of Jesus, who made it a practice to see people as people, not as members of any specific group. Even when the Jews of His day drew lines between themselves, He reached out to those considered to be lowest on the social scale. Christians must live in the same way.
