I Know the Cure For Racism In America

No Justice No Peace 

 From Michael Brown to Eric Garner, the deaths of black men at the hands of white police lit the powder keg.

Here’s the thing. The tension isn’t just in the streets of St. Louis and NYC. It’s around the water cooler, in the work lounge and even in the church pews.

Why so many years after the Civil Rights Movement is there still so much civil unrest?

It is simple. Friends. We aren’t friends.

White and black people are, by and large, living separate lives. We live in different communities. We worship in different churches. We send our kids to different schools. We aren’t friends.

I want to share with you some people who are friends. The kids from my church mastered the solution. They have mastered being friends.
