Drew G.I. Hart is a young black pastor who shares insight about racism in our country and in the church. He shares his own experiences - and those of others - and offers ways the white American church can and should examine ourselves in order to move forward in positive ways. We have to be aware of systemic racism through the eyes of those who experience it - and not just through our own personal lens. We cannot know or understand what minorities go through because our lives just are different. It is also not the way of Jesus to continue the hierarchies that have long been established that keep others down. We must be part of the solution - actively. I highly recommend this book.
Quote from the book -
Those who violently colonized you ought not set the standard of what is proper and respectable. (p. 135)
