Race sees race. Love sees love.

The nature of humans is that what we see is what matters. What we see has little to do with what is, or what is important. Maybe one day that will change.

I don’t understand why race matters.

I believe it’s important to know who we are, and to learn and respect our cultures all over the globe. But growing up I never saw race, I just saw people as equals. Sometimes I just don’t understand why is matters to people.

Race is important, Love is Necessary

One’s culture and Race is important and defining, but Love overcomes all and we all are the voices of Love

Race was constructed by white men

I am a white man, and I realize that the concept of race was created by people like myself a long time ago. The purpose of race was to create a tiered society in which white people had superiority to the other races. It is important for all races to recognize there is no scientific basis for race.

You are important. Your voice matters!

I do not know what it is like to be pulled over by the police because of the color of my skin.

I do not know what it is like to be called degrading names because of my ethnic background.

I do not know what it is like to be profiled because of my race.

I do not know what it is like to be turned down on a job because of the color of my skin.

I am sorry that so many have been treated unjustly, and that it still goes on today. I do know that you are created in the image of God. You are beautiful through and through. You are smart, caring, talented, and amazing. You have a purpose on the earth, and you matter.

Race isn’t important, but identity is!

I had to spend time on a battlefield to finally see where we as a race were headed. It amazes me now, that that was what it took to rearrange my priorities. Scary how hardheaded we are as a species.
