Racism In 2016

This election wasn't about the real issues 
It was about black or white, the shade of our skins...seriously...in 2016 
Why is racism living in this era? I thought we were beyond that. 

I hope this is not a reality show playing out in my reality ...because our destiny is too great to be playing the hate game, not in this century. 

When our President Elect says he's making America great again did he really mean making America white again? Is there no place for my skin shade in this great place ...I am deeply disappointed if that is what he meant.That kind of thinking can't grow this country, That's backward thinking. 

When did hate becomes more important than respecting all of God's creation ...We must all see a man for his ability to think and not the shade of his skin

Our fore-parents fought this war already we are beyond this ...the slave trade is over, the dark ages have ended. How did we get back to this, hate has no place in this great nation.

Hate is a weak emotion and a sign of failure...a failed man lives in bitterness without any hope of evolving ... we must all love each other, hate is a great burden to bear in this greatness we build for the next generation

Nothing but the truth. We all need to pause and remember the real cause. One day EVERY KNEE will bow, and EVERY tongue gonna confess. Wonderful verse thank you :) James
