Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
(Act 10:28) And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Act 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Act 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

Biblically speaking, but in reality?
We can glean guidance through scripture. We learn from those who overcame their struggles that we might be strengthened and encouraged to do the same.Biblically speaking, but in reality?

I'm not sinful but, ....aren't we Christians better than the rest?
Christians who have touched by the Holy Spirit are far superior to others.
I was humble enough to call myself Humble Soul. That automatically makes me humble doesn't it?
Some of the things you have said are questionable. I do not see people as race but as people, some of my darkest moments came from black people, and some of my best moments in life came from a white people Muslims give me the most grief in my personal life, but they are the most likely to hire me, and actually pay me for my work. I work for a mixed race woman at the moment, although i might not have my job anymore, although i have been put on furlough. Only time will tell, i am already finding my next job, as of last week. I am a 33 year old black man by the way. Anything is possible and don't limit yourself because of race. We all are the same when we shed our skin.Some event needs to occur. Maybe white people as a race need to suffer more. So we know how it feels to be treated as inferior.
Maybe it's our turn to feel like second class citizens. Otherwise we will never feel empathy. Just stay blind and deaf.
I'm trying to go through a change myself. To address my own racism. Not that I meet black people in real life. Still I need to improve my attitude. I might not like Black Lives Matter but I have to admit racism exists and can't be ignored. Start with myself.
