Why should racism end Casey?

Racism should end because Jesus died for our sins and He commands us to love others like He loves us. For me it goes back to the gospel. Until people get the gospel message, racism and every other sin will exist.

Why should racism end Mackenzi and Mackenna?

I think racism should end because we are all human beings with flaws. God made us all in his image, so everyone should be equal. I also think racism should end because everyone deserves an equal chance to be something in life, no matter what they look like. They shouldn’t have to worry about being discriminated against because of the color of their skin. And besides, if you read the Bible, everything started in Africa near the Euphrates River, so we are all connected in some way. –Mackenzi Stewart, age 13

Racism should end because I wouldn’t be able to play with some of my friends. Also racism should end because slavery has ended. –Mackenna Stewart, age 7



Let’s Talk About Race – Day 20


#LetsTalkAboutRace

Why should racism end John?

1) because there are enough forces unified against ALL OF US from outside our borders for us to allow anything to destroy us from the inside.

2) because it is time people of all races stopped identifying themselves as part of a group and instead celebrated their own individuality.

3) because we live in a country far more diverse than our parents and grandparents grew up in and we should have learned from mistakes made by all sides in the past.

Why should racism end Marcus?

1. It holds back the growth of society as a whole.

2. It causes unnecessary conflict amongst people.

3. It is morally wrong to hate or harm a person especially based purely on the color of their skin.

Why should racism end Ashley?

My friend, CJ,

Three reasons why racism must end:

1. Without racism clouding our view, we will be able to see our different colors for what they are – indicators of perspective and insight, and use this knowledge to evolve our global society in positive ways.

2. Imagine what we as a nation could achieve with our collective minds together unfettered, no one holding or being held back. The creative drive of Americans is astounding; let’s tap its potential.

3. Every human being has the inalienable right to feel safe in her neighborhood, in her car, in her home.

Thank you for asking me to contribute,

Ashley Grice, Leadership Atlanta c/o 2015
