The only thing i've seen that has had the power to tear down the walls of racism is the word of God. I've seen racist men and women deal with their hatred and insecurities and learn to accept and love others because of God's love. Unfortunately Sunday is the most segrated day of the week. So called christians opt to go to all black or all white churches, this is not good, when we don't even worship the same God together. Now i understand why this happens historically speaking but God made us and only he can really change us from the inside if we allow him to. Its funny some people don't realize they are racist, people have to first see who they really are and then they can work on changing. Unfortunately if someone's life is not directly affected by racism then they may or may not care to come up with solutions to stop it. As blacks we are directly affected so our desire to end racism is greater. So how can we help whites to see that they are racist/or at least prejudice or priveledged by being white in this country and have them care enough for others equality to do something about ending this. I believe those who profess to be christian need to start living by the word of God and then we'll see real lasting change of heart.
