At the heart of racism stands Satan, not man. No one is more pleased by the racial tension in the world than God's ultimate enemy. I'm sure he marvels at how shallow we humans tend to be, by hating one another simply because of skin color! If you are a child of the Most High God and you are fighting in this war of division and hatred (even if only in thought), you are fighting for the enemy. If this is you, you need to repent of this sin and start seeing others the way God sees them, as made in His image. If not, Satan will keep stirring your mind with thoughts that will not only further stoke the burning hatred of racism deep within you, it will put even more distance between you and the One who saw your unformed body before the foundations of the world, and knit you together in your mother's womb.Patrick Higgins
About This Quote
One of the most important aspects of racism is the fact that there is a divide between people. This divide can be overcome by treating everyone as a human being instead of a race. For example, if one person is rude to another at a store they need to apologize or else it will reflect on their entire race. If this happens to a person of color it will make them feel bad about who they are and their race.
This is why it’s important to recognize that racism is wrong because you hate people for something they have not done. It makes no sense to hate someone because of what they look like or where their ancestors came from. We should all treat each other with respect and love because we were created in God’s image and we all deserve the same things.
