I am tired of racism.

I am so very tired of racism. I hear people complaining on the news and radio about when will it ever end. I'll tell you....when people quit using it and bringing it up. Racism will end when we stop looking at someone's outward appearance and start looking at their heart and motives instead. I am not blind or naive. I did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday and I was raised in the south.
When I was young, I used to think when all the old racist people finally died, racism would go with them. THAT was naive. I had no idea people were teaching it to their kids and trying desperately to keep it alive. I had no idea that 25 years later, race would still be used as an excuse as to why someone did not do well in life.
We have a president who, like it or not, got where he is today by hard work. No, I am NOT an Obama fan, but I give credit where it is due. He did not have government handouts. He worked hard, got a degree, and made something of his life. He did not wallow in his circumstances and whine that life is not fair. Newsflash people: life is NOT fair. Get over it. Do something about it. Quit sniveling and go out and show 'em that you CAN do it and no one is going to stop you!!

The bible says:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28

where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
Colossians 3:11
This doesn't sound like God is racist to me. He does not look at our outward appearance. He loves us all the same.

For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
Luke 12:48

The Lord wants us to see others the way He sees them: with love. God does not believe in handouts. He wants us to love one another, to help one another, and to encourage one another.

Think about that...
