You are using the past and present together. We are not the whites of old, and not all whites have been violent,You do know thats probably the most frequently recited passage that slave owners read to the enslaved right? At this point I'm pretty sure thats why white slavers made laws against reading and host of other things but gave Blacks a pacifist religion. The funny thing is that whites have long been violent but are only quick to preach forgiveness when someone else wants to get violent.I honestly thought he was joking. Does that really make sense to you?
You know that's what Jesus said, don't you? It's from the sermon on the mount.
Matthew 5:44
"But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you,"
Yes, I do believe that the only way to truly end racism and hate is for people's hearts to completely change. And the only way to do that is being transformed by God.
