I have a feeling that before this is all over there will be a lot of racism exposed in the heart of people.

Racism is just hatred. Hatred is a work of the flesh.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

We are going to see a lot of this, as long as we don't see it in the Church.

I think the lifestyles of different peoples and their way of thinking tends to push us into a "racisim" mentality, if we are not careful.

And even though my opinion probably matters little here, I think it was on purpose, with using the previous incident as an excuse. Just like there were some "monkey head Obama cookies" being sold in Conneticut. Racism is very alive in this country, in my opinion because we dont/wont deal with the underlying issues to heal from it....on all sides.

I forgot about the cookies! That was so ignorant!!!

I wasn't exposed to the monkey/black thing growing up - so didn't "get it".

I didnt even see the cartoon. Just reading the headline and I instantly "got it".

May I ask where you grew up?

That one actually made me more upset in a sad way than angry. Especially when I read the article and then the comments people posted.

I had a good family - not saying it wasn't around - I just didn't hear it.

I understand. But even though I grew up in an awesome family as well I still knew crack heads, and the like. Not saying you arent being truthful (I am not saying that at all)...just saying it is interesting.
