The Elephant in the Room - Part 5: "Race & Racism"

Skye Jethani from the "Holy Post" podcast tells a story of a congregant who believed Martin Luther King's famous quote, "9:00 a.m. on a Sunday is the most segregated hour in America," was actually a good thing.

When asked to explain himself, he pointed to Revelation 7 where every tongue, tribe and nation was gathered around the throne of God. He saw it as every "tongue, tribe and nation" gathered in their own segregated sections.

Whether this was ignorance or a deliberate misreading of Scripture, it wouldn't be the first time that those in the Church have used Bible passages out of context to justify some of the most grievous sins against God and His Children.

So let's have a frank discussion about race.
Where did all these shades of skin colour emerge?
Isn't this just a USA problem?
Why saying "I don't even SEE colour" may not be as noble as you think it is.
