I have come to admit that I am powerless over my addiction to racism in ways I am unable to recognize fully, let alone manage.
I believe that only a power greater than me can restore me in my humanness to the non-racist creature as God designed me to be.

progressives in the church have moved from trying to say things aren't sin that are blatantly Biblically sin, and then saying that every white person is guilty of a sin (i do believe racism is a sin.) while i do think we all have the capacity to commit each and every sin, there are some that i struggle with and some that, by God's grace, I have never struggled with.

i've had some painful conversations with brothers in Christ who are convinced that i and every white person are guilty of the sin of racism, but that black people cannot be. that's just insane theology that can't be backed up in scripture anywhere.
