The idea that Christ died because of his race or skin color is absurd. He died for the purpose of salvation and to free us of our sins not to make one people group feel more like they deserve something or that other people owe them something on account of the past. I will never deny that the actions of people from the past deserve some form of compensation but to hold the idea that you are owed something due to the treatment of your ancestors from many years past is ridiculous. I respect people who overcome adversity but some people use the very adversity they overcame to cause more strife between different races and people groups. People who loosely claim the "Race Card" whenever they believe someone is against them truly show a lot of character flaws and should rethink how they conduct their arguements and their view of the world. On the same note there are still people who are racist and I know they will always be present but I am addressing certain public figures who use the issue of race far too freely and use it shamelessly also.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433975635880693481noreply@blogger.com
