Stop Racism


Below is an excerpt taken from a post (Don't Repay Racism with Racism) I found so enlightening I wanted to share it. 

God doesn’t instruct us to repay evil for evil or racism for racism. God doesn’t instruct black people to assume the worst of white people because some white people assume the worst of black people.

Racism is a vicious cycle that would be stopped if we refused to repay evil for evil—racism for racism. However, we continue to repay black supremacy for white supremacy, anti-white racism for anti-black racism. 

The Bible says: “finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8-9
