God is Not Cool with Racism Either!

Hi Bob Crane I agree, and well said. You are never to old to change. Only death can cease the opportunity of change and tolerance.

Bob,

Well said, you have made an excellent logical argument...time to grow up and celebrate diversity and expand our hearts to include everyone.  A

I agree Bob. There is no room for this in our world. We are all brothers and sisters.

Bob Crane - touchy post, got carried away a bit.  Love your quote - so true...

"How can we claim to love God until we learn to love the people who are made in His image."

I have plenty of biases and they're all based on behavior.  

I think there are far more accusations of racism than there is actual racism.  Does it exist?  Sure.  Is it great that you had the opportunity to help someone change their heart?  Absolutely.

Bob Crane This is beautifully written.  Growing up in a family with relatives of different races and attending public school in Chicago, I simply thought of people as friends and relatives.  I was not aware of labels.  Today, many focus on labels, rather than embracing the differences that make our county and culture unique.

Love to all everywhere. Love and light and blessing and lovlinessness! 

Good morning Bob. We are kidding ourselves if we don't believe race is still a big issue in this country. Unfortunately the leadership in this country does not fully understand the problems. We may not understand it, but for us it is not an an issue, for many others it is.

 Good morning Bob. I have to agree with Joe's statement. There is a lot of racism in this country and it is not all between black and white.

It is still a huge problem, unfortunately....and I know many "religious" folks who partake in it too

Bob, it's nice to hear that you're helping this person grow and examine themself in an attempt to make them a better man.

Admittedly, I have problems with a certain "type" of person too - the closed-minded, racist, type. 

At least the fellow you're helping sounds like he's keeping an open mind - hope it helps to get rid of his racism.  There's really no room for it in our world.

Bob, your guidance to this fellow had to have had a life altering awakening. All of God's children are precious in his site. 

Bob,

 You and I are of the same mind today I wrote a post the hate I too do not like racism at all. I have been the victim of it myself..I chose to let it go and say they were ignorant. I learned something cool about you today, being a Fransican minister. I am Catholic!

Hi Bob,

This has been such a terrible time in our country and I just pray that we reach some peace soon. It is bad enough to be fighting with other countries but when the war is here, it is so sad. My mother used to say we are all the same and bleed the same color. Like Debbie Reynolds just said, we are all precious to God.

Good evening Bob ... so true and beautifully written.  That older gentleman was given a gift when he sought you out for guidance.  Helping to open others eyes and hearts ... thank you!

Bob Crane you had a calling for a reason and with your guidance many will be saved. It all begins with communication. You handled the situation as a true professional and listening was the key. What you have experienced and written sounds like the beginning of a great book that could change the mindsets of those who still need help and guidance in this area.

God bless you Bob.

Hello Bob ... wonderful post and so true, never to old to change
