JanBeek

Powerful video! Jan, it definitely makes anyone pause and reflect. I ask the Lord every day to help me walk in His light. There are many questions swirling around, and the righteous answers will come to those who walk behind our Lord.

Oh Jan, this video is spot on. When in psych graduate school, I took an amazingly powerful course in Diversity. I loved it! Having grown up in the South with Civil Rights issues at the forefront, I was at odds with all my bigoted family. How heartbreaking that we are still here today. It’s hard to believe. It is regrettable that history appears to repeat itself. Will we ever learn and embrace the message that Christ brought to earth? I don’t know and pray for this everyday. Bless you my dear friend!

Great share, thanks…

We all bleed the same, we are beautiful inside. My husband and I are mix and our son who was adopted by us at the age of two is African American we as a family as seen the prejudice even in our own families. We are married 28yrs and things all around in our country has gotten worst. My son is a young man and is about to graduate with high honors in December from college. I have told him since he was a little boy, my son you already have two strikes against you, you are a male and you are black always rise above it, so this world of ours you are a child of the Living God and he created you in His image as well. 🙂

I am and have always been color blind. We are the human race. Period. Thank you for sharing! This is a very hopeful message.

Very inspiring video! I loved “Conformity has a ceiling and you don’t.” Thank you for sharing this!

Nice post ❣️ thanks for sharing 🙂💮❣️

I hope one day we learn to look at another and only see another human, leaving all categories and divisions aside.. thanks for being a voice of love..

Nicely put together. Let us hope, especially come November, that most truly do not see it.

MomBee, I am very tired of labels. While I agree that white supremacy exists and there are bad people in our society that live under a delusion that they are better than other people, I think that giving them a label and a category also gives them more power and conviction to live up to such label. What/who are these people, really? They are hateful, immoral and unethical humans. They lack a conscience. They destroy the soul of America. Sadly, I see many humans (not just White Supremists) who fall into this category. I see videos of rioters and angry people of all colors and walks of life. I read the lies spread on social media. I am very tired of people feeling the need to identify someone by a label like the color of his/her skin or by his/her beliefs or by his/her sexual orientation or any other label. I’m tired of seeing people default to anger and violence. They protest but they forget what they’re protesting. Perhaps bad people are out there with the “good” protesters with an agenda to cause chaos or spread lies?
You wrote “Let hatred be gone and have no place in our hearts. Only compassion.” Exactly! I don’t know about other people but since our country has spiraled out of control, I feel threats and hatred from others that I’ve never felt before. Sometimes it happens as I’m simply walking down the street. Living near Baltimore and working in DC is eye opening. Skin color has really become more important to a lot if people. They are going backwards in time. So many people need a reset. So many people need to be re-educated. As we “pray hard for a peaceful transition back to sanity, truth and integrity in our White House” we also need to expand (possibly even refocus) that prayer to include the elected officials representing the legislative, executive and judicial branches of our government. Many of these officials have behaved so badly! They have an obligation to be “We the people”. There should be no more slandering of others (party vs. party). They need to move forward and discover and deploy solutions together. I can’t see how a new president or even the existing president can make any difference in America if these minds (of our current government officials) are not reset as well.
