I initially posted this to my personal Facebook page, but I wanted to share it here, too.

”I have friends and family members here in Facebook that are law enforcement officers or spouses of LEOs. I also could guess that at least half of my thousand some-odd friends on here are POC (many being Black, specifically). I know for a fact I have people on all sides of every issue. The people connected to me here on Facebook represent MANY different countries, cultures, languages, religions, educational backgrounds, socio-economic backgrounds, ages, interests, lifestyles, colors, and more.

No matter where you stand on the issue of whether or not the gruesome murder of #GeorgeFloyd was racially motivated or not, where you stand on the use of the term “#BlackLivesMatter,” where you stand in regards to the protesting that is happening all over the US, where you stand on whether systemic racism is a thing or not or police brutality is a problem or white privilege exists...

I hope and PRAY that every single friend here would agree that RACISM IS BAD.

Surely I have removed the outright and self-proclaiming white supremacists from this page. Surely if you are reading this, you are in agreeance that racism is wrong, bad, hurtful, evil, deplorable, appalling, wicked, etc. Surely we can all at the very least unite against racism.

IF THAT IS THE CASE, and you are SPECIFICALLY WHITE (yes, I’m talking about race, because I’m talking about racism!!!), then will you also join me in becoming better educated?

Let’s all be better humans. Let’s commit to learn about, fight against, and abolish racism. Can we, at the very least, do that? Unite AGAINST racism?

Cause that’s what I’m trying so do here, by posting what I’m posting. (That, and introduce everyone I can to a life with Jesus... just saying! )

Love, grace, and peace to you all.”
