How to destroy the Giant called Racism in America

Racism is a negative reaction to one of life's social contradictions. The founding principles of America, one of which revolves around the appreciation of the differences that people have come to live with such as color, tribes, ethnicity, religion, cultures etc. was premised on the sanctity of character. "Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared, but only men of character are trusted" -Zig Ziglar. The important place that character occupies in the lives of humans as well as nations led to the ideological belief that men are to be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. This fundamental belief which lines up with the biblical injunction the founding fathers of America held unto strongly and as long as they held onto it they chose to do good. 

 

Every human being intuitively, accidentally or intentionally evolves into a character. Character is the  definition of your personhood, it is the essential core that defines and describes your reputation. Character is the instrument that shapes your choices and decisions and character will be the force in your personality that will help you to set goals and manage your life to meet them (Robert H. Schuller). With character what you are is more important than what you do. It is important to note also that there are no great or non-great people, we are all the same, the difference is that some people are committed to noble and honorable values. Great values deliver great character. 
 

Life is full of contradictions and not coming to terms with this reality is complicating matters instead of proffering solutions to them. The problem of racism is not beyond what can be resolved if only people will embrace the fear of God, which is Wisdom and the departure from evil which is understanding. One of the manifestations of the acts of racial discrimination in America and the most recent and barbaric was the murder of George Floyd where an officer was visibly seen kneeling down on his neck until life was taken away from him. Some other kinds of barbaric acts of racism include the shooting of innocent black folks such as Breonna Taylor. These are just a few of the wickedness of man to man that are noticeable but unfortunately there are so many other kinds of racist acts on the grounds of color differences that go on day in day out. Come to think of what happens in job placements and promotions where people are upgraded or degraded on the grounds of the color of their skin and not the content of their character. Racism is systemic but it also shows the level of moral  and spiritual decadence in America. The Christian bodies in America have a lot to do if this giant called racism will be destroyed.
