Whats the Real Problem?

We all face it pretty much daily.It is by all means an uncomfortable subject matter if we were caught on video in certain circumstances;showing what comes out in a moments notice/without notice to think first.We I need to do a lot of that thinking first before reacting.We can play the blame game and still not remove/resolve the matter to a change of heart and character. Racism is the problem I’m writing about today. It is forever an old continual problem in our country and its time to consider a solution. Big government throws our $$$ at the problem and calls that the effort. Different organizations for each color,or ethnic,or beliefs,or gender multiply themselves and raise $$$ for their cause in the campaign usually to take rather than to resolve. However we look at it ; it is present. Why? Possibly a curse from day one and ignoring the wrong of doing outright wrong to people. Wrong is watered down for a curse on a nation. How about sinning against humanity in inhumane ways? I think for most of us who know right from wrong can see that barbarism entered this land some 200yrs. ago and we feed on that continual curse. For those who realize the past wrongs and know to never practice such treatment to others as known even in our times 50′s,60′s, and even present still live in it. Yes its two sided. Those that have remorse for past forefather’s choices and those that will not forgive,forget,and move on from it. Our government still babysits the problem and the different groups still have major group meetings in what effort to resolve I do not know. I think each of us need to take account of the matter and take a stand against false campaigns to better such.If it is sin; then treat it as sin. Sinner repent and correct future action in fairness and truth. Those sinned against;forgive and move on.I mean really; how long is this gonna take. It is not rocket science. Most of these parties involved and US Gov. claim to believe in same God and theology. Then believe and walk in it. No where does the bible teach that man can pay for sin nor can one be paid enough in $$$ or other efforts to forgive. Its all a choice and free. It is a difficult task for me to accomplish; but I must in order to be about His Kingdom work. I don’t need to join some group or movement. I need to get this right within myself and be always respectful as possible in my heart. My upbringing and circumstances of yesteryears have no more responsibility of my choices in this matter. I need to make it simple and get back to the basics of a child. Children don’t have this problem. But they will all grow up with this problem and worse if we/I don’t get it right; right now.The problem is sin. Racism is worldwide by our human sinful nature. I can not be perfect; but I surely can be part of making a difference by considering the effect of such added sin to myself and the world around me. Take a stand against racism; start by stopping ourself involvement. Stop entertaining the idea or conversational gestures. Get real about it. Our children and our country’s direction is in confusion and will only obviously get worse if we don’t take self responsibility of this matter to our walk. Consider love your neighbor as yourself. Who is your neighbor? Consider moving to a foreign land and how you would want to be treated. How we want to be treated is not an earned desire. Its a normal want of respect of being human. Consider defusing by refusing to be disrespectful….thats my goal…Whats yours?

    I love that you mentioned how children don’t see color. What a world it would be if we could keep the innocence of childhood. You bring up some excellent points, Charlie. I doubt the issues of racisim will ever be solved as long as the parties try to solve them seperately. Good blog!

    Racism is a learned attitude which can be changed.
