Racial Reconciliation: 4 Ways to Not be a Bystander
Just because you're not committing violent acts of racism doesn't mean you aren't responsible for the persistence of racism. Many think racism is only aggressive hateful acts done directly to races opposite their own. But any action that projects inferiority onto another, makes suspicious assumptions, casts blanket statements, or believes/acts from a place of hate, all based on someone’s race, is racism. Think back to the last time someone said or did something that was even slightly racist. What did you do?

That’s not who we’re called to be. In our conversation today, we wrap up our conversation with Derrick Sier talking about 4 ways to not be a bystander.
