People get tired of hearing me say this, but racism is alive in well in our world today. There is now proof that it is true. Check out this article that is the result of a current study on racism in America.
It isn't always the vehement racism of the 60s and 70s, but it is a passive racism. It can be detected in statements like I overheard yesterday at church from a young person who was raised in church-- "It doesn't matter if that Mexican gets arrested, he needs to be deported anyway." It is the idea that there is an "us" and there is a "them" and the "us" is in any way superior to the "them."
God forgive me if I have any form racism within me. Help us honor and respect everyone in the same way we expect them to honor and respect us.
