It is really sad that I am just learning about Tim Wise! Mr. Wise-Ù Ŕ an awesome person... I, being born black in 1955-hv experienced racism etc., from many white ppl; I hv learned so much truth from ù... I thought that Jane Elliott was my favorite person. I've heard a white Pastor teaching his [God's] members about being racists towards the blk ppl‐but I am grateful 2 ù because we all hv 2 get rid of this nasty racist spirit. It is embedded in white ppl and blk ppl don't know how 2 fight that spirit. Ppl don't realize that the spirit of racism, bigotry etc.[& all the spirits that offend God] will send ù2 a burning hell! Keep teaching against evil!!
The most disturbing component of the Mr. Byrd story is that the family asked then Gov. George Bush to attend the funeral. He did not attend. THAT bothers me!
It is not enough to tolerate those who are different from us, we must love them. This is the teaching of Christ, one that the modern church has tossed aside with fervor.
