Are We All Racist?

You’re in a conversation – or maybe a diversity training session at work - and the topic turns to systemic racism and someone asks, “Are we all racist?” What would you say? When asking ourselves if we are racist, we must be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Every person is made in the image and likeness of God, and we should repent anytime that we fail to treat anyone as the valuable image-bearer they are. But that doesn’t mean we should assume that we are racist by default. The next time someone says that most people, or all people of a particular group, are racist, remember these three things: First, many Accusations of racism today are, in fact, prejudgments. Second, not all calls for racial justice come from the same worldview. Third, we can only truly confront evils in our society if we tell the truth.
