Racism is a two way street.
Violence is not the answer. Rioting is not the answer.
Doctrine:
Why does racism exist?
Does God think there should be any sort of segregation between peoples?
How should we deal with racism as Christians?
Are there different races? NO!
“Nobody hates a bad cop more than a good cop!”
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Galatians 3:28
