Key Takeaways
Learn from the other person's perspective.
This will help you develop empathy. When you understand someone's context you begin to understand their story. White people don't know what it's like to be black in America. Start with the fact that you don't know.
2. Don't be colorblind.
Acknowledge and embrace our differences. When you don't embrace our differences you miss out on the beauty of what God is doing. Our differences create tension and most people want to get rid of the tension. However, it's in the tension that we grow stronger. Don't ignore the tension, embrace the tension.
3. Do your part to promote unity.
We need to reach across the race line. This might mean making new friends or reading books. It needs to start with the Church because we believe that everyone is made in the image of God.
