Jim Yohe Quote re Racism
"In the Spiritual realm, the red blood of Jesus reigns supreme over white guilt and black rage. I had blissfully thought that once we all worshiped together, all racial problems automatically disappeared. I was not guilty of closing doors to blacks, but I certainly wasn't trying to open any doors either. I stood indicted of apathy and indifference."
From "Confronting Racism"
What do You think?

Re: Jim Yohe Quote re Racism
I think racism is often confused with prejudice and bigotry.

There are probably a lot of reasons human beings turn their backs on one another. None of them are right.

Re: Jim Yohe Quote re Racism
"I certainly wasn't trying to open any doors either."
Should we go out of our way to 'open doors' or is this racism in a different form?

I do tend to think that it would be racism in a different form.
