The trouble with slavery is that "freeing the slaves" doesn't make them brothers. In his letter to Philemon, he wrote of Onesimus that: "Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that {Philemon} might have him back for good — no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a DEAR BROTHER. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a BROTHER IN THE LORD." It is one thing to end injustices, but it is another to promote justice. ED.

Serving in certain areas of the country I have seen this TOTALLY played out in the lives of my students and thier families. And now this question has come straight into my house, the answer? God wins over all. (not sure my southern belle grandma will see it that way...keep prayin g-ma) Something that I have been impressed with by my kids, they dont see the color of skin but the color of clothes. My daughter was trying to explain who some of her freinds were recently and instead of doing what society raised me to do, she pointed them out by what they were wearing. I was amazed...not that she had an apperent total diregard for ethnicity but that that was the first thing I noticed. I pray that my kids and thier generation(s) will continue to see people for the value they have and not be blinded by diversity....that all men(ethnos) will be treated equally. Is Bluegrass really music? AAAAAAAAAAMEN!!!!! Serving in certain areas of the country I have seen this TOTALLY played out in the lives of my students and thier families.

Racism isn't gone; it's just harder to find. There are also people who are against Hispanics which is a tad more understandable(and easier to find), but we're still called to love everyone, the legal and illegal, immigrants. I also remember a common insult for awhile around here was to call someone Jewish which I thought was the stupidest insult ever, lol. Good post Greg. Racism isn’t gone; it’s just harder to find.

I know first-hand that racism is not dead because I was raised by a racist. He doesn't go out and say it to everyone, but his comments in the privacy of our own home and to us quietly prove how deep the prejudice is. I could go on forever, but I'll stop there. Good writing, and I hope people learn from this and everyone checks their hearts for any prejudices they might have. I love this…it actually brought tears to my eyes.
