Racism, slavery, bigotry, and etc are evil. Plain and simple. But, God also says that, "who, by worrying, will add a single hour to his life?"</p><p>Basically, what I mean is, "stop worrying so much about whether someone is a racist. If they are, they are. It is stupid, but they are. Instead, focus on the blessings that God has given you even if it was at the expense of your forefathers."</p><p>My great grandfather (who I never met or knew) gave up his life fighting the Germans in a far away land. I could spend my life worrying and blaming others, or I could thank God that the Germans did not win.</p><p>Same thing with slavery. Evil? Most definitely. But, entire generations of African Americans now live in a country where they have opportunities that don't exist in Africa. Imagine yourself living there right now.</p><p>Do I agree with slavery? He _ _ no. But, God has blessed YOU. Yes, your forefathers paid an immeasurable price, but God promised to repay you for that. So, are you going to curse His Blessings by worrying about whether some guy (who you probably don't and never will know) is a racist?</p><p>Who cares? Focus on your blessed life and move forward.</p>BillTue, 19 Feb 2008 22:53:11 -0000http://www.baratunde.com/blog/2007/7/16/is-insert-name-here-a-racist.html#comment-1949528<p>Bump what white people think!!</p><p>We need to tell adult Negroe males who have sired children; to be good fathers, concerned fathers, loving fathers, caring fathers to their children.<br>`</p>NSangomaTue, 17 Jul 2007 11:18:42 -0000
